Abstract
Carrier-based pulse width modulation (PWM) schemes are the preferred choice for modular multilevel converters (MMCs) due to their simplicity and ease of implementation. However, the required number of carriers for gating signal generation drastically increases with the number of submodules (SMs) in an MMC. These carriers should be accurately synchronized with each other to generate the high-quality output voltage and current waveforms. However, it is difficult to achieve the synchronization due to the memory constraints, sampling issues, computational delays, and control complexity. To overcome these issues, a simple single carrier-based PWM modulator is proposed in this paper. In addition, a simple SM capacitor voltage-balancing approach with less computational burden is presented. The proposed scheme can be easily applied to the n-level MMC without any modifications and applicable to any SM type. The effectiveness of the proposed modulation scheme and SM capacitor voltage balancing algorithm is demonstrated through the simulations in the PLECS <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">®</sup> software platform.

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
