  • Abstract
    Recently modular multilevel converters are highly attractive for medium, high-voltage power transition and electrical machine drive. Capacitor voltage sorting is very important for capacitor voltage-balancing control. This paper describes a novel sorting algorithm for capacitor voltage of modular multilevel converters (MMC).
