The Series Bridge Converter (SBC): design of a compact modular multilevel converter for grid applications

This paper presents a novel hybrid modular multilevel voltage source converter suitable for grid applications. The proposed converter retains the advantages of other modular multilevel topologies and can be made more compact making it attractive for offshore stations and other footprint critical app...
