With the widespread use of modular multi-stage converters, the demands on their stability
are increasing. In particular, problems such as open-circuit and short-circuit faults in their …

Modular multilevel converter (MMC) is a promising converter in medium and high voltage
applications due to its modularity and easiness to meet any voltage level by cascading the …

In this paper, a state-of-the-art controller architecture for controlling modular multi-level
converter (MMC) family is proposed. By using this controller architecture, single point of …

This paper proposes a fault detection method and a tolerance control in a single-phase
cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHBMI). In case of open-fault, the body diode of the …

The traditional fault-tolerant procedure usually comprises fault detection and fault tolerance.
Fault detection is adopted to locate the specific fault, which increases the complexity and …

This paper proposes a matrix converter structure and modulation techniques for fault-
tolerant operations in case of single-switch short-circuit failures as well as single-switch …

Fault detection and location is one of the critical issues in engineering applications of
modular multilevel converters (MMCs). At present, MMC fault diagnosis based on neural …

Modular multilevel converter (MMC) is the popular AC/DC system commutation equipment,
and its reliable operation is related to the stability of the entire AC-DC system. After …

This paper presents a novel method for fault detection and location in modular five-level
converters (MFLC) based on stacked sparse autoencoder (SSAE). SSAE is composed of …
