Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) Modeling Considering Submodule Voltage Sensor Noise
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2021 The modular multilevel converter (MMC) is a popular topology in medium- and high-voltage applications, and many efforts have been spent on MMC modeling. However, the impact of submodule voltage sensor noise (SVSN), which becomes more severe due to increasing switching speed of power semiconductors and compact submodule design, has not been considered ...
