Modular Multilevel Converter DC Fault Protection [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 2018
High voltage direct current grids will require the development of dc protections that provide fast fault isolation and minimize the disturbance caused to the existing ac power networks. This paper investigates how the dc fault recovery performance of a half-bridge modular multilevel converter (HB-MMC) is impacted by different dc protection design ...

A Fast Multilevel SVPWM Method Based on the Imaginary Coordinate With Direct Control of Redundant Vectors or Zero Sequence Components

open access: yesIEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society, 2020
This paper for the first time comprehensively presents a multilevel space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) method based on the imaginary coordinate system. This method is probably one of the most efficient methods in fast multilevel SVPWMs.
