Voltage balancing in low‐voltage radial feeders using Scott transformers
Increasing use of heat pumps, micro‐generation, electric vehicles and energy‐saving technologies is expected to cause severe voltage imbalance on low‐voltage (LV) radial feeders and deteriorate the power quality seen by single‐phase (1Φ) and three‐phase (3Φ) LV connected consumers. To solve this problem, a Scott transformer‐based balancing technique is

A multilevel voltage-source converter system with balanced DC voltages [PDF]
In this paper, a multilevel voltage-source converter system is proposed for high-voltage, high-power applications such as back-to-back interconnection of power systems, large induction motor drives, and electrical traction drives. Multilevel voltage-source converters have a voltage unbalance problem in the DC capacitors.
