Abstract

Modular multilevel inverters (MMI) are in trends for high voltage and power applications since they can be easily extended to any number of levels with less no. of source requirement and reduced complexity to the control system. This paper presents an overview of control and applications of MMI. A brief overview on MMI topology is presented. With its control architecture. The switching topologies of the modules are presented to keep the capacitor voltage balanced. The detail discussion on voltage and current modulators are studied. This paper discusses brief principle of operation, carrier-based pulse width modulation for MMI.
