Neutral-point-clamped hybrid multilevel converter with DC fault blocking capability for medium-voltage DC transmission

Abstract This paper proposes a novel hybrid multilevel converter with DC fault-blocking capability, i.e., the neutral-point clamped hybrid multilevel converter (NHMC). By employing two types of unipolar full-bridge submodules along with director switches, which are composed of series-connected insul...
