Modeling of multilevel converters
In this paper, the imbricated cells multilevel converters are studied and modeled from a control view point. These converters make use of several switches connected in a series, which allows using switches with reduced voltage ratings; these low voltage switches have lower conduction losses and can switch at higher frequency.

Cyber-Attacks in Modular Multilevel Converters
Distributed control of modular multilevel converter (MMC) submodules offers several potential benefits such as flexibility and modularity. In this approach, low-level control tasks, such as capacitor voltage balancing, can be distributed amongst controllers placed in the SMs.
