Abstract:
Systems and methods to improve operation of a modular multilevel converter. Some embodiments include a first upper arm with a first active power link module, which facilitates producing a first portion of a first alternating current electrical power at a base frequency and injecting a first even-order current harmonic of the base frequency in the first upper arm, and a first lower arm with a second active power link module, which facilitates producing a second portion of the first alternating current, in which the first portion of the first alternating current and the second portion of the alternating current are combined to facilitate outputting the first alternating current electrical power at a first alternating current terminal, and injecting the first even-order current harmonic in the first lower arm, in which magnitude of the first even-order current harmonic is zero at the first alternating current terminal.

Claim (Index 5):
The modular multilevel converter of  claim 1 , comprising:\n a second upper arm comprising a third active power link module, wherein the third active power link module is configured to selectively connect and disconnect a third ultracapacitor to the second upper arm to facilitate:\n producing a first portion of a second alternating current electrical power at the base frequency; and \n injecting a second even-order current harmonic of the base frequency in the second upper arm; \n a second lower arm comprising a fourth active power link module, wherein the fourth active power link module is configured to selectively connect and disconnect a fourth ultracapacitor to the second lower arm to facilitate:\n producing a second portion of the second alternating current electrical power, wherein the first portion of the second alternating current electrical power and the second portion of the second alternating current electrical power are combined to facilitate outputting the second alternating current at a second alternating current terminal; and \n injecting the second even-order current harmonic in the second lower arm, wherein magnitude of the second even-order current harmonic is zero at the second alternating current terminal.
