Capacitor Voltage Balancing of Flying Capacitor Multilevel Converters by Space Vector PWM
IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 2012Proper operation of a multilevel flying capacitor converter (FCC) necessitates a closed-loop voltage balancing strategy. This paper proposes a space vector modulation (SVM)-based approach that benefits from the switching state redundancy of an n-level FCC to implicitly carry out the voltage balancing task within the switching strategy.

Capacitor voltage balancing in full binary combination schema flying capacitor multilevel inverters
IEEE Power Electronics Letters, 2003Recently, the full binary combination schema (FBCS) method has been introduced to control the flying capacitor multilevel inverter. This method has the primary advantage that the number of voltage levels can be increased for a given number of semiconductor devices when compared to the conventional control methods.

Active Capacitor Voltage Balancing in Single-Phase Flying-Capacitor Multilevel Power Converters
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2012Two active capacitor voltage balancing schemes are proposed for single-phase (H-bridge) flying-capacitor multilevel converters. They are based on the circuit equations of flying-capacitor converters. Consequently, they can be implemented using straightforward control rules.

Capacitors voltage balancing modeling in three phase flying capacitor converters with booster
2012 3rd Power Electronics and Drive Systems Technology (PEDSTC), 2012This paper provides a mathematical model for voltage natural balancing process in three phase capacitor-clamped multicell converters. The analysis leads to state-space model of the converters. State-space representation of converter can be utilized to investigate the start-up and steady states of internal flying capacitors voltages.

A resonant switched-capacitor converter for voltage balancing of series-connected capacitors
2009 International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems (PEDS), 2009This paper describes a resonant switched-capacitor converter (RSCC) for voltage balancing of several capacitor or battery modules connected in series. This voltage balancing circuit transfers electric charge between the capacitor modules with a soft switching operation, resulting in a reduction of power loss and EMI.

Capacitor voltage balancing method for modular multilevel converter with flying capacitor submodules
2017 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT), 2017The modular multilevel converter (MMC) is most widely acclaimed converter topology for high-voltage, high-power applications. Several multilevel submodules have been proposed to replace the conventional two-level submodules for MMC, allowing the reduction in the foot-print size of the converter for the same number of output voltage levels.
