“…Compared to the back-to-back converter, the MC has several attractive features such as the simple and compact power circuit due to the lack of bulky electrolytic capacitors, sinusoidal input and output currents, controllable input power factor with any load, bidirectional power flow capability, long lifetime and high reliability [1][2][3]. Due to these advantages which the MC offers, it attracts many researchers to study and consider it for specialized applications in industry, such as adjustable speed drives, wind generation system, utility supply and ground power supply unit for aircraft servicing [4][5][6][7]. However, MC still has some limitations, e.g., the voltage transfer ratio constraint with a maximum value of 0.866, and a great sensitivity to the power source distortion due to the direct connection between input and output sides.…”
