The Alternate Arm Converter (AAC) - "short-overlap" mode operation - analysis and design parameter selection

This paper presents converter operation principles and theoretical analyses for “short-overlap” mode operation of the Alternate Arm Converter (AAC), which is a type of modular multilevel Voltage Source Converter (VSC) that has been proposed for HVDC transmission applications. Fourier series expressi...
