Design and Control of a Modular Multilevel DC/DC Converter for Regenerative Applications

This paper compares different cascaded and multilevel topologies to interface supercapacitors to a dc bus in regenerative braking applications. It is shown that the modular multilevel dc/dc converter (MMC) can benefit from both reduced voltage and increase ...
