Q2. What is the cost function for a multilevel inverter?
For each chromosome, a multilevel output voltage waveform (Fig. 2) is created using the switching angles in the chromosome and the required harmonic magnitudes are calculated using FFT techniques.
Q3. What is the output voltage waveform for a multilevel inverter?
Each converter generates a square wave voltage waveform with different duty ratios, which together form the output voltage waveform as in Fig.
Q4. What is the name of the paper?
It imitates biological evolution by using genetic operators like reproduction, crossover,Prepared by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37831, managed by UT-Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy unde contract DE-AC05-00OR22725.
Q5. What is the name of the chromosome?
In this paper, a binary string is preferred, e.g. [ ] [ ][ ]010111110x1111000101x 0100110001xk21KKKKKKKK== =(1)The set of {x1, x2,…,xk} is called a chromosome and xi are called genes.
