Enhanced Voltage Sorting Algorithm for Balancing the Capacitor Voltage in Modular Multilevel Converter [PDF]
In this paper, an enhanced voltage sorting algorithm is proposed for balancing each sub module capacitor voltage in modular multilevel converter (MMC). However, the submodule (SM) voltage strategy becomes more complex when it increases to a number of levels, which eventually increases voltage ripples and circulating current.

Balancibility: Existence and uniqueness of power flow solutions under voltage balance requirements [PDF]
In distribution systems, power injection variability due to growing penetrations of distributed energy resources (DERs) and dispatchable loads can lead to power quality issues such as severe voltage unbalance. To ensure the safe operation of phase-balance-sensitive components such as transformers and induction motor loads, the amount of voltage ...

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
