title = "Multi-Resonant Dynamics and Voltage Balancing of Multiphase Coupled Inductor FCML Converters",
abstract = "This paper systematically investigates coupled inductor balancing of flying capacitor multilevel (FCML) converters. Coupled inductors synergize with FCML converters by reducing inductor current ripple, reducing switch stress, and providing stronger and faster balancing of flying capacitors, including in the presence of disturbances, parameter uncertainties, and circuit asymmetries. The multi-resonant balancing dynamics of multiphase FCML converters are explored, connecting the balancing speed, frequency, and initial conditions. Simulations and experimental results are used to evaluate the effectiveness of coupled inductor balancing. Monte Carlo methods are employed to demonstrate how coupled inductors provide robust balancing even with varying parameters and disturbances.",
