Innovative Power Quality Enhancement in Distribution Systems with Transformerless Multilevel Inverter and Plithogenic Neutrosophic Algorithm

Abstract

This study introduces a novel approach employing a transformerless multilevel inverter-based plithogenic neutrosophic algorithm to enhance power quality in distribution systems. The algorithm, characterized by minimal switches and controls, operates effectively in both voltage and current control modes. Through regulating voltage distribution to balanced sinusoidal levels and extracting balanced sinusoidal currents from the distribution system, the algorithm addresses power quality challenges without requiring additional components or incurring extra costs. A hardware prototype implementation demonstrates its efficacy, showcasing lower total harmonic distortion (THD) and modulation index rates compared to conventional methods. The algorithm's mathematical formulation and implementation in electrical hardware are described, highlighting its superior performance over traditional fuzzy algorithms. Overall, the findings suggest that the multilevel inverter-based plithogenic neutrosophic algorithm holds significant promise for optimizing power quality in distribution systems, offering potential for more efficient and reliable energy distribution in the future.
