Abstract
With an ever-increasing need for reducing the converter size in voltage source converter high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) systems, special attention is put towards converters with a low energy storage requirement, as energy storage is a predictor of the overall converter size. The modular multilevel converter (MMC) technology has the benefit of efficient AC/DC conversion; however, for many cases, it re-quires a large converter footprint, due to the excessive quantity of energy storage (i.e., capacitors) needed. Recently, hybrid cascaded multilevel converters (HCMCs) have been proposed, which are a combination of the simpler two- and three-level converters and cascaded full-bridge sub-modules (FBSMs), and are expected to have a lower converter footprint, due to fewer sub-modules (SMs) than the MMC. However, the degree to which the HCMCs have an improved footprint has yet to be verified. This paper puts forth a method for determination of the total amount of energy that the hybrid two-level converter (H2LC) and the hybrid three-level converter (H3LC) require. The results show that both the H2LC and the H3LC have an improved footprint compared to the conventional MMC.

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
