摘要
In recent years, the modular multilevel cascaded converters (MMCCs) have attracted interest for potential applications in utility-scale photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems. However, the large numbers of cascaded modules increase the difficulty of implementation in a centralized control architecture. This paper presents a distributed control technique for three-phase MMCCs, which can significantly reduce complexity and increases the flexibility to expand the system. In addition, reference voltage analysis is performed to better understand the operation of the proposed method. Experimental results carried out on a seven-level star-connected cascaded converter are included to validate the proposed approach.
