• Reduced power losses compared to six different topologies except HBSMs which couldn’t offer reactive power compensation and DC-FRT
• Reduced complexity and less semiconductor devices with about 50% and 29% reduction compared to FBSMs and Hybrids of FBSM and HBSM
• Reduced extra IGBTs and diodes compared to 3LCCSMs and CDSMs
• Excellent reactive power compensation and DC-FRT
• A cost-effective approach to bulk power transmission.
