Abstract
Modular multilevel converters (MMC) show great potential in high-voltage as well as emerging applications such as grid storage and electro mobility. The main advantages over the two-level converters include flexibility, scalability, and higher degrees of freedom. MMCs with series/parallel connectivity (MMSPC) are a more recent developed technology which can provide stable and efficient sensorless operation. However, although the additional parallel connection between the modules provides many advantages, it can change the equivalent resistance of the system and hence complicate the power loss analysis. This paper presents a simplified conduction loss calculation method based on equivalent resistance analysis for MMSPC. The presented method has the advantage of simplicity with relative accuracy that can speed up the process of loss analysis. Simulation results show that the accuracy of the presented method is above 95% percent for modulation indices above 0.5.
