Abstract
The non-ideal behavior of power switches and/or circuit asymmetries in transformer-isolated converters can result in nonzero average voltage across the transformer terminals, which, in turn, can saturate the transformer. In this paper, a volt-second balancing scheme is developed for a Modular-Multilevel Converter (MMC)-fed AC/DC converter to avoid transformer saturation.
