Abstract

This article proposes a new energy conversion structure by employing a hybrid approach for grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) applications. This structure depends on the LeBlanc transformer and multilevel inverter (MLI). The proposed hybrid system combines the honey badger algorithm (HBA) and the reptile search algorithm (RSA). Crocodiles hunting behavior is enhanced by the HBA technique, also known as the IRSA technique. Voltage source inverters (VSI) are used in the proposed multilevel power converter. The MLI output is attached to the LeBlanc transformer. Multi-string technology is essential to the PV system's configuration. This innovative power converter's structural layout allows for an output voltage at the MLI's output. The proposed IRSA approach is utilized to regulate this power converter. This control system permits a fast and robust response from the MLI. This is also ensured by using the IRSA technique. The performance of the proposed hybrid method is run in MATLAB, and the performance is compared with various existing methods. From the simulation, the proposed approach-based efficiency is higher than the existing one. The proposed method shows a high efficiency of 99% compared with other existing methods, such as the salp swarm algorithm (SSA), bee colony optimization (BCO), and grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA).
