Distributed Control for a Modular Multilevel Converter [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2018 Conventional centralized control strategies may reduce the flexibility and expandability of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) system. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes a distributed control architecture that is capable of assigning certain control tasks to distributed local controllers and improves the modularity of an MMC system.

Mixed cells modular multilevel converter [PDF]
2014 IEEE 23rd International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE), 2014 This paper uses a scaled down version of the mixed cells modular multilevel converter (MMC) to discuss its modulation and capacitor voltage balancing method, and investigates its AC and DC fault ride-through capability. It has been found that the mixed MMC is resilient to both AC and DC network faults, which are necessary for next generations of highly
