  • Abstract
    This paper presents implementation of an universal modulation scheme on an proposed modular multilevel inverter for achieving charge balancing of the capacitors. Modulation is done by using sinusoidal pulse width modulation. Simulations are provided to prove the conclusion of the scheme.
