This review article is mainly oriented to the control and applications of modular multilevel
converters (MMC). The main topologies of the switching modules are presented, for normal …

Abstract Model-based predictive control, or MPC, is a popular technique widely used in
three-phase two-level power converters (VSC), in applications such as motor and generator …

This chapter reviews the control systems used to enable STATCOMs to carry out their most
important task, which is to deliver reactive power to the electrical grid. Later on, other control …

This paper proposes a new and simplified Nearest Vector Control (NVC) modulation
technique for a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system using a Modular Multilevel …

Modular multilevel converter (MMC) is a type of electronic converter currently used as
voltage source in real HVDC transmission systems. This paper presents, as an alternative, a …

This paper is focused on the modular multilevel converter (MMC) topology that uses the near
level control (NLC) method. Specifically, it addresses the relationship between the number …

A new topology of a wind farm wherein the wind generators are integrated into the structure
of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) is presented. It allows connecting a group of …

Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) are traditionally used in high‐power applications
although their field of application has lately widened to lower powers. In medium and low …

This research project has proposed a new modulation technique called “Local Carrier Pulse
Width Modulation”(LC-PWM) for MMCs with different cell voltages, taking into account the …
