Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to a modular multi-level DC/DC power electronic converter for transferring power from or between a higher-voltage DC network and a lower-voltage DC network. The power electronic converter features a series connection of low-voltage voltage source modules (VSM) and a current source module (CSM). The series connection of the sub-module elements forms a string. The higher-voltage DC network is interfaced to the converter by connecting across the outer terminals of the string. The lower-voltage DC network is interfaced to the converter through the CSM.
