Modulation, Losses, and Semiconductor Requirements of Modular Multilevel Converters
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics · 2009 · Vol. 57(8) · pp. 2633–2642
Abstract
This paper describes the operation of modular multilevel converter, an emerging and highly attractive topology for medium- and high-voltage applications. A new pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) scheme for an arbitrary number of voltage levels is introduced and evaluated. On the basis of this PWM scheme, the semiconductor losses are calculated, and the loss distribution is illustrated.
