Modeling and Control of a Modular Multilevel Converter Based on a Battery Energy Storage System with Soft Arm State-of-Charge Balancing Control

Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) with integrated battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are becoming crucial for modern power grids. This paper investigates the modeling and control of a grid-connected MMC-BESS, with a specific emphasis on state-of-charge (SoC) balancing. Compared to conventiona...
