Hot reserved redundant sub-modules significantly increase the reliability of MMC systems
equipped with considerable sub-modules. This paper presents a fault-tolerant operation …

Each arm of modular multilevel converter (MMC) consists of a large number of sub-module
(SM) units. However, it also increases the probability of SM failure during the long-term …

This paper presents a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based fault detection method to
detect the multiple open-circuit switch faults of modular multilevel converter (MMC) system …

In this paper, a new post-fault modulation strategy is proposed to operate the direct matrix
converter as close as possible to its desired normal operation under an open-switch fault …

Modular multilevel converter (MMC) based high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems are
quite popular in high power transmission systems as it offers low losses, high quality output …

This article presents a new submodule (SM) circuit that facilitates the fault-tolerant capability
for modular multilevel converters (MMCs) under various internal and external faults. The …

This paper proposes a new on-line fault detection method to detect open-switch faults in a
Matrix Converter (MC). The proposed fault detection method is based on a two-step …

The modular multilevel converter (MMC) is considered a very promising candidate for
medium-voltage and/or high-power grids. One of the major concerns in half-bridge MMCs …

Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) have been one of the most broadly used multilevel
converter topologies in industrial applications, particularly in medium-voltage motor drives …

A fault-tolerant scheme is proposed for a multistage isolated three-phase dc/ac matrix
inverter (MI-TMI). It comprises a front-end dc/ac converter followed by an ac/pulsating-dc …
