Harmonic Elimination Strategy (HES) has been a widely researched alternative to traditional PWM techniques. This paper presents the harmonic elimination strategy of a Uniform Step Asymmetrical Multilevel Inverter (USAMI) using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) which eliminates specified higher order harmonics while maintaining the required fundamental voltage. This method can be applied to USAMI with any number of levels. As an example, in this paper a seven-level USAMI is considered and the optimum switching angles are calculated to eliminate the fifth and seventh harmonics. The HES-PSO approach is compared to the well-known Sinusoidal Pulse-Width Modulation (SPWM) strategy. Simulation results demonstrate the better performances and technical advantages of the HES-PSO controller in feeding an asynchronous machine. Indeed, the harmonic distortions are efficiently cancelled providing thus an optimized control signal for the asynchronous machine. Moreover, the technique presented here substantially reduces the torque undulations.
