Design and Control of a Modular Multilevel DC/DC Converter for Regenerative Applications

This paper compares different cascaded and multilevel topologies to interface supercapacitors to a dc bus in regenerative braking applications. It is shown that the modular multilevel dc/dc converter (MMC) can benefit from both reduced voltage and increase ...

Fictive Axis Emulator-based State Feedback Vector Current Control for Single-Phase Voltage Source Converters

Alfred Rufer, Michail Vasiladiotis

This paper presents a vector current control method tailored for single-phase voltage source converters. In order to imitate the behavior of a three-phase system, the Fictive Axis Emulation (FAE) concept is employed. The latter is able to synthesize the ro ...

Functional Modeling and Energetic Macroscopic Representation of Modular Multilevel Converters

Alfred Rufer, Michail Vasiladiotis, Nicolas Cherix

A key feature of Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) is the continuous and independent nature of the branch currents. Therefore, a decoupled control of the line and partial bus currents is possible, unlike for classical topologies. To this end, several con ...
