Characteristic Analysis and Fault-Tolerant Control of Circulating Current for Modular Multilevel Converters under Sub-Module Faults

A modular multilevel converter (MMC) is considered to be a promising topology for medium- or high-power applications. However, a significantly increased amount of sub-modules (SMs) in each arm also increase the risk of failures. Focusing on the fault-tolerant operation issue for the MMC under SM fau...
