A Capacitor Voltage Balancing Approach Based on Mapping Strategy for MMC Applications

This paper proposes a new strategy to achieve balanced capacitor voltages in modular multilevel converters. Among the possible solutions, centralized arm control approaches are often adopted. These methods require a balancing technique based on a sorted list of the sub-modules according to their cap...
