The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the application of Selective Harmonic Elimination PWM (SHEPWM) based on Differential Evolution (DE) optimization algorithm to improve the AC output voltage quality of modified 5-level Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) inverter. The DE optimization algorithm is used to solve non-linear transcendental equations necessary for the SHEPWM. Computational results obtained from computer simulations presented a good agreement with the theoretical predictions. A laboratory prototype based on STM32F407 microcontroller was built in order to validate the simulation results. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed modulation method.
