    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for controlling a wind converter for a weak electrical grid. In one embodiment of the disclosure, a system for controlling the wind converter includes a wind converter connected to an electrical grid at a point of connection (POC) and operable to transfer a power to the electrical grid. The system includes a first control loop operable to calculate, based on electrical grid parameters and wind converter characteristics, a voltage reference to be generated by the wind converter. The system includes a second control loop to convert, based on the electrical grid parameters, the voltage reference into a current reference. The second loop converts the angle information of the voltage reference into a voltage at the POC. The system includes a third control to regulate, based at least on the current reference, the power transferred by the wind converter to the electrical grid.

    Abstract: A method of operating a flying capacitor multilevel converter having a direct current link and a plurality of phase legs each having a plurality of flying capacitors includes employing redundant states to balance flying capacitor voltages by charging or discharging flying capacitors. The redundant states are employed by obtaining a load current of the flying capacitor multilevel converter. If a load current value is lower than a threshold value then a capacitor current of a phase terminal capacitor is utilized to determine redundant states else a load current direction is utilized to determine the redundant states.
