  • the present disclosure relates to a multilevel electrical converter comprising a plurality of chain-linked cells wherein each cell comprises a capacitive storage element.
  • Multilevel converters are found in many high power applications in which medium to high voltage levels are present in the system. By virtue of their design, multilevel converters share the system voltage, eliminating the need of series connection of devices.
  • modular converters have become popular, where a number of cells, each containing a number of switching elements and an energy storage element in the form of a Direct Current (DC) capacitor, are connected in series to form a variable voltage source.

This means an extra 20% over-rating, in the number of cells in each phase-leg, would be required due to effect of capacitor voltage ripple.
