DOI: 10.1109/tie.2023.3270508
Abstract: Cascaded H-bridge-based solid-state transformer (CHB-SST) has been the typical scheme in medium- and low-voltage ac/dc conversion applications, and large-size capacitance caused by second-order ripple of submodules (SMs) is the inherent problem of CHB-based systems. In… read more here.
