Flying Capacitor Multilevel Converter
The flying capacitor multilevel converter (FCMC) has been introduced by Meynard and Foch [1]. This topology was conceived to implement high-voltage converters without series connection of the power switches. The FCMC was characterized, in Chapter 2, as a symmetric topology. Also, it was possible to see that the FCMC has some advantages when compared to the diode-clamped multilevel converter (DCMC). It is easy to increase the number of voltage levels by simply adding basic cells in the load end of each leg. The same as the DCMC, it has a single voltage supply that constitutes the DC bus, allowing the back-to-back connection of these converters. As with the DCMC, the FCMC requires ...
