Experimental Validation of a Nested Control System to Balance the Cell Capacitor Voltages in Hybrid MMCs (2021)
Journal Article
Donoso, F., Cardenas, R., Espinoza, M., Clare, J., Mora, A., & Watson, A. (2021). Experimental Validation of a Nested Control System to Balance the Cell Capacitor Voltages in Hybrid MMCs. IEEE Access, 9, 21965-21985. https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2021.3054340

© 2013 IEEE. In a hybrid modular multilevel converter (MMC), capacitor voltage balance between the Full-Bridge Sub-Modules (FBSMs) and Half-Bridge Sub-Modules (HBSMs) is only possible when the arm currents are bipolar. For a grid-connected MMC, opera... Read More about Experimental Validation of a Nested Control System to Balance the Cell Capacitor Voltages in Hybrid MMCs.
