  text: Due to recent developments in MMCs, they are used in many medium-voltage and
    high-power applications today, but efficient and modular solutions for high-power
    at low-voltage such as for electrolysis are still required. The proposed Y-MMC
    converts the grid AC-voltage into a DC-voltages, and an LLC converter is connected
    to each submodule capacitor to provide the required current to the DC-load. This
    paper proposes a topology that uses only half the number of submodules and moreover
    to reduce the effective switching frequency by a third, while preserving the same
    THD und output power of an YY-MMC.
