Cascaded dc-ac converters with interleaved carriers are commonly used in applications where elevated voltages and low-distortion multilevel waveforms are needed. Example applications include modular multilevel converters and solid-state transformers. In such systems, carrier interleaving is generally achieved via communication among the stacked converters or a centralized controller. Due to the large number of converters in such a system, existing approaches entail significant wiring complexity and communication may limit resilience to failures. In this paper, we introduce a control strategy which achieves communication-free carrier interleaving among series-connected converters. The proposed controller is embedded within each converter control loop and only requires measurements available at each set of converter terminals. We formulate a dynamic system model and show that the system converges to the interleaved condition irrespective of the number of converters in the stack. After outlining a practical method for digital implementation, experiments are shown on a hardware-in-the-loop setup.
