| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This report describes outcomes of a study for Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) with Hybrid cells. The main contents are as follows; (i) Consideration for fundamental operation of the MMC, (ii) Proposal of control method for the MMC, (iii) Volume evaluation of the proposed system. Moreover, the results are as follows; (i) Required PWM patterns was generated by virtual indirect control, (ii) A Miniature model of the MMC achieved a power conversion and retaining of capacitor voltage, (iii) Conditions in order to achieve volume reduction were clarified. Finally, the volume of the proposed system is approximately 50% of the volume of the conventional system.
From the above results, it was confirmed that the proposed MMC with Hybrid cells achieves the volume reduction and the cost reduction because of the reduction of the number of switching devices.
