Abstract :
An artificial neural network (ANN) is used to derive the chopping angles for a pulse width modulated inverter. The neural network is trained off line and later implemented in the control system. The AC voltage magnitude order is used as the input to the controller. The ANN outputs three firing angles and thus controls the magnitude of the fundamental frequency voltage while eliminating the two lowest order harmonics. The performance of the ANN controlled inverter is studied using an electromagnetic transients simulation program (EMTDC)
