  • Abstract
    This paper presents a hybrid modular multilevel topology for medium voltage drives requiring low frequencies and a high start-up torque. It operates from a DC supply which makes it easy to connect several drives to a single active front end converter, optionally also enabling galvanic isolation. The topology is compared to the modular multilevel matrix converter (MMMC) and to the modular multilevel converter (M2LC).
