Abstract:In the very recent years, the modular multilevel converter (MMC) topology has become the development trend of high-voltage high-power power conversion technologies. However, one specific issue associated with MMC is the necessity of very large capacitances, which stops it from reducing cost, increasing reliability, and improving power density. To reduce the capacitance of required capacitors, in this paper, the nature of the common-mode capacitor voltage fluctuation is analyzed, and the corresponding suppressi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
