Active thermal loading control of the modular multilevel converter by a multi-objective optimization method

The modular multilevel converter (MMC) has become the most attractive converter topology for medium/high-power applications. However, uneven power loss distribution and thermal loading among the semiconductor devices of each submodule (SM) compromise the reliability and lifetime of the converter. In...
