Distributed Control for a Modular Multilevel Converter [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2018
Conventional centralized control strategies may reduce the flexibility and expandability of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) system. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes a distributed control architecture that is capable of assigning certain control tasks to distributed local controllers and improves the modularity of an MMC system.

Mixed cells modular multilevel converter [PDF]

2014 IEEE 23rd International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE), 2014
This paper uses a scaled down version of the mixed cells modular multilevel converter (MMC) to discuss its modulation and capacitor voltage balancing method, and investigates its AC and DC fault ride-through capability. It has been found that the mixed MMC is resilient to both AC and DC network faults, which are necessary for next generations of highly

A multilevel modular DC–DC converter topology [PDF]

Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, 2017
[EN] A multilevel modular DC DC power conversion topology based on cascaded H-Bridge converters in a double II configuration is presented. The topology is intended to interconnect large power DC networks. A two level control hierarchy is used to regulate the DC voltage of each H-bridge module.
