Pareto Frontier of the Arm Energy Ripple and the Conduction Losses of a Modular Multilevel Converter

Modular multilevel converters can achieve high power quality and voltage ratings, becoming a good alternative for high-voltage direct-current applications. However, the circulating current and capacitor voltage ripple remain significant drawbacks, mainly due to the impact on efficiency and power den...
