Hybrid modular multilevel converter control and design for pumped hydro storage plants is presented, addressing application-specific shortcoming of conventional back-to-back half-bridge modular multilevel converter: high common-mode-voltage machine stress. ...
The dc transformers based on an LLC converter operated in open loop near resonant frequency have several crucial advantages compared to other topologies. These advantages are the stiff voltage ratio with a natural power flow, the dc grid isolation via medi ...
Soft switching in dual-active-bridge (DAB) converters enables their efficient operation at high frequencies, where the reduction in the size of magnetic components could result in ultra-high power densities. Nonetheless, losing soft-switching at high frequ ...
The required module capacitances of modular multilevel converters can be significantly reduced in comparison to conventional operation modes when quasi-two-level operation is applied. Unfortunately, the output voltage distortion becomes similar to those of ...
For certain field-effect transistors (FETs) in soft-switching operation, the large-signal behavior of their output capacitance ( Co ) has shown to deviate considerably from the datasheet values. This can have a significant effect on hard-switching losses i ...
DC power supply systems utilising voltage source converters offer several advantages compared with their counterparts in marine low-voltage DC power distribution networks. In case of a two-level voltage source converter fed by a synchronous generator which ...
The paper aims at minimizing DC voltage oscillations in offshore multiterminal high-voltage direct current (HVDC) grids based on modular multilevel converters (MMCs). The DC voltage stability is a crucial factor in multiterminal HVDC networks since it is a ...
The medium voltage direct current (MVDC) technology is emerging in electricity networks includingpoint-to-point transmission, distribution networks and collection networks for renewable energysources. In this article the MVDC break-even distance (with resp ...
