shunt capacitors are used in power systems since the 1910s and are popular due to low cost and relative ease of deployment. The amount of reactive power supplied by a shunt capacitor is proportional to the square of the line voltage, so the capacitor contributes less under low-voltage conditions (frequently caused by the lack of reactive power).

The traditional sub-module capacitor voltage balancing control is devoted to controlling the difference among the capacitor voltages of modules in a minimum value.

The conventional method to control the DC-link capacitor voltage is by using direct change between instantaneous voltage and desired DC-link voltage. However, by using this method, the DC-link capacitor voltage is not accurately controlled and regulated, and as a result, unclean voltage is produced [ 6 - 14 ].
Under the traditional balancing control, the range of the sub-module capacitor voltage's fluctuation is (232, 260 V). Under the optimised balancing control, the range of the voltage's fluctuation is (218, 270 V). Therefore, the authors can see that the fluctuation of the voltage under optimised balancing control is greater.
So far, most of the control of the capacitor voltage of sub-module is based on the capacitor voltage sorting method and is implemented in combination with the modulation algorithm.
