Design and development of a cascaded modular multi‐level converter based on current‐fed quadruple‐active bridge converters for grid integration of photovoltaic systems

Abstract This article proposes a new topology of a cascaded modular multi‐level converter (MMC) based on the current‐fed quadruple active bridge (CFQAB) converters for grid integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems. The MMC topology includes multiple cascaded converter modules in each phase of a thre...
