This paper proposes a novel capacitor voltage balancing method for a modular multilevel converter in order to make a switching frequency of sub-module converter evenly distributed, while maintaining the voltage balance within a desired range. Similar to the conventional, the proposed method is based on the sorting algorithm which is widely used due to its simple and effective implementation, but introduces...
