Abstract
The modular multilevel converter (MMC) has become an attractive option for dc/ac conversion in many power system applications, in particular, for HVDC transmission. Due to its parallel arrangement of phase legs, the MMC is known to be a wye-configured architecture. In this paper, the equivalent delta formulation of the conventional wye architecture is introduced. The delta-configured MMC, enabled by series-stacking phase legs, is an alternative realization to the wye-configured MMC and has significantly different operating characteristics. The introduction of the delta MMC enables greater flexibility in converter voltage/current scaling for a given set of submodules, and may be an appealing option for dc/ac applications requiring a power tapoff from a high-voltage dc rail. The single-ended and differential delta topologies are derived, with the latter seen as the preferred topology due to its reduced energy-storage requirements. The principle of operation of the differential delta-configured MMC is described in detail. A dynamic controller is developed that regulates grid power injections while suppressing unwanted circulating ac currents. Comprehensive simulation results validate the differential delta MMC operation and the proposed control scheme.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
