In this paper a new post fault operation strategy is proposed for modular multilevel converter (MMC). The conventional MMC fault tolerant operation methods use redundant cells in spinning or cold reserve schemes, however in this work the MMC fault tolerant operation is achieved without requiring any redundant cells. The introduced strategy modifies capacitors reference voltages and arms modulation...
This study proposes a new fault detection method for modular multilevel converter (MMC) semiconductor power switches. While in common MMCs, the cells capacitor voltages are measured directly for control purposes, in this study voltage measurement point changes to the cell output terminal improving fault diagnosis ability. Based on this measurement reconfiguration, a novel fault detection algorithm...
In this paper a new voltage measurement technique for modular multilevel converter (MMC) capacitors is proposed. While all the capacitors voltages should be known for closed loop control of MMCs, only the arms voltages are measured employing the proposed method. Therefore, the number of voltage sensors reduced dramatically to one per arm. The capacitors voltage quantities are updated continuously...
