description This study utilized Harris Hawk optimization to analyze the harmonic distortions of a symmetric capacitor based multilevel converter. The proposed multilevel converter uses identical and symmetric DC sources in its input. The proposed topology for a multilevel converter uses fewer switches than typical cascaded designs. It can output 9-level outputs and can be scaled up to higher levels. The proposed multilevel converter can be improved by implementing a low frequency pulse width modulation technique to reduce the stress on the switches. The optimization of the switching angles using Harris Hawk was able to solve the non-linear aspects of the Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulse Width Modulation. The output voltage's THD was compared with that of other optimization methods, such as ant colony and particle swarm. The comparison shows that the output THD of the Harris Hawk optimizer is lower than that of other methods, which is about 5 %, according to the standards of IEEE-519.
