Abstract In this paper, an outline of microgrid arrangements and control methods at various hierarchical levels of Packed U-Cell (PUC) converters are provided. The paper discusses the control of these topologies using various techniques. The goal of these control strategies is to maintain a small THD, superior steady-state, fast-dynamic response, and high-power factor while balancing capacitor voltages under different operating conditions. The PI current controller is modelled on five and seven-level PUC inverters. The PI voltage and current controllers have also been modelled on a seven-level PUC inverter. Thereafter, model predictive control of five, seven and fifteen level inverters are also formulated and then simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. Finally, HIL validation of different PUC inverters is performed.
