Abstract
Abstract A multilevel converter has been brought into limelight in this article, however, particular attention has been provided to the form and function of modular multilevel converter (MMC) with new design, control and harmonic mitigation schemes. A new controller scheme has been proposed to mitigate the lower and higher order harmonics. The proposed scheme shows its effectiveness by theoretical calculations, verified by simulation and experimental results. Till date, research in this field is very limited with circulating currents and harmonics as the major problem. This article effectively addresses the problem with prototype 1 kVA implementation and attempts to make a detailed analysis with their functions in comprehensive manner with high-voltage DC application under different conditions. Also, the applicability of zero voltage switching at turn ON and zero current transition at turn OFF has been verified experimentally. The strategic conclusions on MMC have been made in order to make the system more robust in operation, less complexity in design and control.
