Abstract:7-level AC-AC Sparse modular multilevel converter (SMMC) is proposed in this paper. It is a bi-directional multilevel converter and it is employed in high power and high voltage applications. It contains full bridge and half bridge SM's on the middle arm, and low frequency converters on each side of the converter. In this converter more number of IGBT switches can work under soft switching mode. Control scheme is also proposed in this paper, it is utilized to obtain the capacitor voltage balancing.
