The modular multilevel converter (MMC) has been a subject of increasing interests for medium and high-power conversions in smart grids application.

Capacitor voltage fluctuation is still an issue in MMC, hence, capacitor voltage balancing control is needed to maintain the capacitor voltages using a voltage sorting algorithm and PD-PWM.
