  • Abstract
    Multi-cell and multi-level converters are receiving a lot of attention. These types of converters have a number of advantages (EMC, modularity, etc.), but are also more difficult to control and construct. An emerging trend in the control of power converters is the use of distributed control. This paper investigates the applicability of distributed control to multi-cell power converters
