Design and Implementation of Hybrid GA-PSO-Based Harmonic Mitigation Technique for Modified Packed U-Cell Inverters by Hasan Iqbal, Arif Sarwat

“…Most of the available harmonic mitigation techniques, that is, passive filtering and individual optimization techniques, which include GA and PSO, are susceptible to a variety of shortcomings regarding their inherent complexity and inefficiency; hence, finding an appropriate convergence may be quite hard. This paper proposes a hybrid version of the GA-PSO algorithm that exploits the exploratory strengths of GA and the convergence efficiencies of PSO in determining the optimized switching angles for SHM techniques applied to modified five-level and seven-level PUC inverters. …”
