Abstract:
Since a power converter including a modular multilevel converter uses a large number of cells each combining a plurality of switching elements and a DC capacitor, there is a problem of conduction loss due to the switching elements. The conduction loss is reduced by connecting a bypass circuit between terminals of each of the cells, controlling to open and close the switching element, and controlling to short-circuit the bypass circuit connected to the cell controlled to output zero voltage.

Claim (Index 1):
A power converter comprising:\n a modular multilevel converter in which a plurality of cells each having a switching element are connected to each other; a bypass circuit connected between terminals of the cell; and a controller for controlling to open and close the bypass circuit in synchronization with an open/closed state of the switching element of the cell.
