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 12):
A power system, comprising:\n a modular multilevel converter electrically coupled between a direct current side and an alternating current side, wherein the modular multilevel converter is configured to output alternating current electrical power at a base frequency to the alternating current side; and a controller communicatively coupled to the modular multilevel converter, wherein the controller is configured to:\n instruct the modular multilevel converter to selectively connect and disconnect one or more storage components to produce the alternating current electrical power; \n determine operational parameters of the modular multilevel converter; \n determine harmonic injection parameters based at least in part on the operational parameters; and \n instruct the modular multilevel converter to inject one or more even order harmonics of the base frequency into legs of the multilevel converter based at least in part on the harmonic injection parameters such that the one or more even order harmonics reduce root-mean square of current conducted by the one or more storage components.
