“…Currently, MMCCs are mainly controlled by sine-triangle PWM [22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32] schemes because of their simplicity in implementation and good waveform quality. Typical ones include the phase shifted PWM (PS-PWM), the phase disposition PWM (PD-PWM) and their variants such as phase opposition disposition (POD), alternative phase opposition disposition (APOD) PWMs [33]. Extensive work has been done in applying the basic two methods for MMCCs having either 2L-HB or 3L-FB as the basic sub-modules, and it has been established that PD-PWM is the most preferred technique due to its resultant low power losses and good waveform quality [31].…”
