These techniques require solving non-linear equations in order to calculate the firing angles. These equations can be solved by meta-heuristic optimization algorithms, which depend on a set of hyperparameters that must be properly adjusted to ensure their effectiveness. This paper presents a methodology to tune different meta-heuristic algorithms to fairly compare them and select the best algorithm to solve SHE-PWM/OPP formulation. The methodology is applied considering different meta-heuristic algorithms such as genetic algorithm, differential evolution, harmony search and simulated annealing. It has been validated in SHE-PWM and OPP techniques with different number of firing angles.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessconference output10.1109/IECON48115.2021.9589242cost functionhyperparametermeta-heurisitc algorithmOPP optimizationSHE-PWMControl and Systems EngineeringElectrical and Electronic Engineeringhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85119480637&partnerID=8YFLogxK
