A Novel SHE Modulation Method for Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) with Reduced Switching Frequency

Article Preview

Abstract:

Modular multilevel converter (MMC) is one of the most attractive converter topology intended for high power conversion without transformer. In this paper, a new modulation method for MMC is proposed and verified by simulated model. The main advantage of reduced switching frequency is also proved in the simulation results.
