24 ML Converter Topologies<br />
will charge and discharge simultaneously and the capacitor voltages stay balanced thanks to the<br />
symmetry of the AC output curr<strong>en</strong>t. Additional control schemes are required to comp<strong>en</strong>sate for<br />
unbalance g<strong>en</strong>erated by any source of disturbance. Such schemes can be found in literature and are<br />
not subject of this thesis.<br />
App<strong>en</strong>dix 9.1 <strong>de</strong>scribes the steady state operation of the M 2 LC. Those calculations result in the<br />
following condition for the flying capacitor size (per module, assuming the worst case operating<br />
point of m = 0, ϕ = 0).<br />

Equation (6) can be used directly for the dim<strong>en</strong>sioning of the M 2 LC module capacitors (or<br />
flying capacitors) for a giv<strong>en</strong> maximum voltage ripple.<br />

3.5.4.1 Split DC link and FC based topologies<br />
FC (flying capacitor) cells can be combined in many more ways than indicated in the previous<br />
paragraphs. More input levels than three can be chos<strong>en</strong> and FC cells can be combined quite flexibly<br />
with half bridge switching cells. An overview and comparison of possible arrangem<strong>en</strong>ts is giv<strong>en</strong> in<br />
[5]. This paper notably discusses the tra<strong>de</strong> off betwe<strong>en</strong> semiconductors and capacitors and<br />
compares the differ<strong>en</strong>t topologies regarding parts count and total required <strong>en</strong>ergy in the flying<br />
capacitors. Examples of such converters are shown in Figure 28. A related approach is pres<strong>en</strong>ted in<br />
[6], where a 7-L converter is proposed based on a 4-L DC link with a DC link selector stage and a<br />
SMC output stage (Figure 28 a).<br />
