Dual modular multilevel converter with shared capacitor sub-module for MV open-end stator winding machine drives

This paper proposes a new dual modular multilevel converter (MMC) topology as a medium-voltage drive for adjustable-speed applications incorporating open-end stator winding machines. A novel concept of sharing one capacitor between each two adjacent-arm sub-modules (SMs) of MMC phase-legs, operating...
