3.5.2 Multi level active neutral point clamped converter ML ANPC<br />

The ML ANPC is one possible alternative also using a multilevel supply combined with flying<br />

capacitors. However, the ML ANPC uses a differ<strong>en</strong>t switch arrangem<strong>en</strong>t and allows for a reduced<br />

number of capacitors. The stacked capacitors of the SMC can be combined into a single flying<br />

capacitor. Unlike the SMC starting from the MC, the ML ANPC starts from a 3-L ANPC structure<br />

(which can also be consi<strong>de</strong>red a FS structure). Flying capacitors can be ad<strong>de</strong>d in three positions in<br />

the ANPC: The two DC link switching cells and the output switching cell. The functionality is the<br />

same in all cases: both halves of the DC link form a MC converter with some of the capacitors.<br />

Figure 26 shows the differ<strong>en</strong>t topologies possible. The multi cell stages are numbered from 1 to 3<br />

to make g<strong>en</strong>eral statem<strong>en</strong>ts on the various possible converter implem<strong>en</strong>tations.
