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 18):
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium configured to store instructions executable by a processor of a controller, wherein the instructions comprise instructions to:\n instruct, using the processor, a modular multilevel converter to output alternating current electrical power at a base frequency by selectively connecting and disconnecting a plurality of storage components that store electrical energy to legs of the modular multilevel converter; determine, using the processor, operational parameters of the modular multilevel converter based at least in part on sensor measurements and control signals transmitted to the modular multilevel converter from the controller; determine, using the processor, harmonic injection parameters based at least in part on the operational parameters and calibration data, wherein the calibration data describes a relationship between the operational parameters and a set of parameters with which to inject an even order harmonic of the base frequency in legs of the modular multilevel converter to reduce root-mean square of current conducted by each of the plurality of storage components; and instruct, using the processor, the modular multilevel converter to inject the even order harmonic based at least in part on the harmonic injection parameters.
