Abstract
This work presents the development of a multilevel power inverter prototype with the use of optimized modulation which manages to significantly minimize the harmonic content of output voltages using Genetics Algorithms. Additionally, it integrates a DC/DC converter that allows to regulate the RMS value of the inverter output voltage through the control of the DC bus voltage. A control loop is implemented that allows obtaining the optimal power quality by verifying compliance with the IEEE 1159 (1995) and IEEE 519 (1992) standards. Through this it is possible to avoid most of the related power quality phenomena such as sag, swell, flicker, undervoltage, etc. Finally, the prototype was successfully implemented and verified.
