capacitor energy is one of main concerns in CHB-converter-based STATCOM systems. In general, the delta-connected CHB converter has a zero-sequence current path, and zero-sequence current is induced intentionally to ba lance the leg capacitor energies [21–25]. On the other hand, it should be noted that the wye-connected CHB converter does not have

A feedback control is employed in the capacitor's voltage balance technique to account for the voltage discrepancy. The compensation signals will be regulated by PI compensators and added to the modulation signals by comparing the voltage on each capacitor with the reference voltage .
Under the traditional balancing control, the range of the sub-module capacitor voltage's fluctuation is (232, 260 V). Under the optimised balancing control, the range of the voltage's fluctuation is (218, 270 V). Therefore, the authors can see that the fluctuation of the voltage under optimised balancing control is greater.
So far, most of the control of the capacitor voltage of sub-module is based on the capacitor voltage sorting method and is implemented in combination with the modulation algorithm.
Conclusion In this paper, a reduced switching frequency voltage balancing method based on the capacitor voltage convergence prediction for MMCs is proposed. According to the prediction result of the capacitor voltage convergence in each arm, the balancing adjusting number is modified dynamically to reduce the additional switching.
The band center point indicates the middle point of the regulation dead-band. Since the operation of the switching capacitor is non-continuous, the switching action is disabled as long as the controlled parameter (which in this case is the terminal bus voltage) stays within the band defined by the lower and upper voltage limits.
