30 ML Converter Topologies<br />

H-bridge converters with multiple supplies require a totally differ<strong>en</strong>t supply scheme with differ<strong>en</strong>t<br />

transformer configurations. TABLE 9 list the specific topologies inclu<strong>de</strong>d in this comparison:<br />

- SMC (Stacked Multi Cell) converter, Figure 25, refers to 3-L DC<br />

link based converters with two stacked MC converters only; high<br />

TABLE 10 indicates the minimum feasible operating ranges for the consi<strong>de</strong>red topologies. All<br />

topologies up to 3 input supply voltages can operate at all modulation indices and all cos(ϕ).<br />

Starting from 4 levels, the only guaranteed operating range is below m*cos(ϕ) = 0.5 (see [21]). In
