Novel single‐armed modular multilevel converter for reducing total converter capacitance

Abstract During normal operation of a conventional Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC), half of its capacitors remain bypassed at any time instant, increasing the total required capacitance for converter operation, and in turn leading to a larger size and volume MMC for a target capacitor voltage rip...
