Local Carrier PWM for Modular Multilevel Converters with Distributed PV Cells and Circulating Current Reduction

A new topology has been recently proposed for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems, using modular multilevel converters (MMCs) and distributing PV panels throughout the MMC cells. This topology has two main advantages: it reduces the power losses related to moving the energy into the MMC capacit...
