title = "Loss evaluation of cascaded H-bridge and modular multilevel converter for motor drive applications",
abstract = "Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) and modular multilevel converter (MMC) are effective solutions for medium and high voltage motor drive applications. However, the choice between the two converters is not particularly clear. This paper presents a loss evaluation of cascaded H-bridge and modular multilevel converter as a reference for loss calculation. A brief description of CHB and MMC are provided and the explicit expression of conduction loss and switching loss for MMC and CHB is derived respectively to show the relationship between the loss and the main variables of MMC and CHB directly based on carrier phase-shifting PWM (CPS-PWM). In the derivation of switching loss, a novel switching loss calculation method based on PWM is proposed to simplify the theoretical calculation process. Finally, the total loss comparison of the two converters based on different conditions are shown for a better selection in motor drive application.",
