TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the impact of modulation on stability issues of the Modular Multilevel Converter (M2C) and suggest a control method that offers stable operation in the whole operation range.
Abstract: This paper discusses the impact of modulation on stability issues of the Modular Multilevel Converter (M2C) The main idea is to describe the operation of this converter system mathematically, and suggest a control method that offers stable operation in the whole operation range A possible approach is to as­sume a continuous model, where all the modules in each arm are represented by variable voltage sources, and as a result, all pulse width modulation effects are disregarded After simulating this model and test­ing different control methods, useful conclusions on the operation of the M2C have been extracted The control methods are then implemented on a model with discrete half-bridge modules, in order to compare the results and to validate the continuous model approach When assuring that this model functions as expected, the goal of this paper is to conclude into a self-stabilizing voltage controller A controller is proposed, which eliminates circulating currents between the phase legs and balances the arm voltages regardless of the imposed alteranting current

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated on the active and reactive power sharing of an autonomous hybrid microgrid, which comprises dc and ac sub-grids, interconnected by power electronic interfaces.
Abstract: This paper investigates on the active and reactive power sharing of an autonomous hybrid microgrid. Unlike existing microgrids which are purely ac, the hybrid microgrid studied here comprises dc and ac sub-grids, interconnected by power electronic interfaces. The main challenge here is to manage the power flow among all the sources distributed throughout the two types of sub-grids, which certainly is tougher than previous efforts developed for only either ac or dc microgrid. This wider scope of control has not yet been investigated, and would certainly rely on the coordinated operation of dc sources, ac sources and interlinking converters. Suitable control and normalization schemes are therefore developed for controlling them with results presented for showing the overall performance of the hybrid microgrid.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared three transformerless photovoltaic inverter topologies for three-phase grid connection with the main focus on the safety issues that result from the lack of galvanic isolation.
Abstract: This paper analyzes and compares three transformerless photovoltaic inverter topologies for three-phase grid connection with the main focus on the safety issues that result from the lack of galvanic isolation. A common-mode model, valid at frequencies lower than 50 kHz, is adopted to study the leakage current paths. The model is validated by both simulation and experimental results. These will be used to compare the selected topologies, and to explain the influence of system unbalance and the neutral conductor inductance on the leakage current. It will be demonstrated that the later has a crucial influence. Finally, a comparison of the selected topologies is carried out, based on the adopted modulation, connection of the neutral and its inductance, effects of unbalance conditions, component ratings, output voltage levels, and filter size.
