Voltage-Balancing Approach With Improved Harmonic Performance for Modular Multilevel Converters
Abstract
In a modular multilevel converter (MMC), the voltage balance among the submodules is mandatory to generate the multilevel stepped waveform across the load and to ensure the equal voltage stress on the semiconductor devices. In addition, the output power quality (voltage and current waveforms) and the converter reliability greatly depend on the design methodology of a voltage-balancing approach. The improper design of the balancing approach …
