MMC with parallel-connected MOSFETs as an alternative to wide bandgap converters for LVDC distribution networks

Low-voltage direct-current (LVDC) networks offer improved conductor utilisation on existing infrastructure and reduced conversion stages, which can lead to a simpler and more efficient distribution network. However, LVDC networks must continue to support AC loads, requiring efficient, low-distortion...
