Objective:This paper analyses the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) topology, where each individual Sub Module (SM), in half bridge configuration, is directly fed by an elementary electrochemical cell.Methods:The aim is to investigate how the reference voltages influence the cells currents waveforms, determining how the active powers and the losses are distributed among the cells. Considering a 2-level Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) topology working in the same conditions, the ratio between the MMC total cells losses and VSI total cells losses is calculated. After showing the system architecture and mathematical model, the cells current waveform investigation is presented and detailed both for triangular and sinusoidal voltage reference waveform.Results:Finally, the results are critically discussed with particular focus on the comparison between the MMC and the VSI topologies.

Two infinitely long parallel conductors of arbitrary cross section connected to a voltage source form a loop. If the source voltage depends on time, then due to induction there is no constant current density in the loop conductors. It is only recently that a method has been published for accurately calculating current density in a group of long parallel conductors. The method has thus far been applied to the calculation of steady-state current density in a loop connected to a sinusoidal voltage source. In the present article, the method is used for an accurate calculation of transient current using transient current density. The transient current is analysed when connecting and short-circuiting the sources of sinusoidal, constant and sawtooth voltages. For circular cross section conductors, the dependences of maximum current density, maximum current and the time of achieving steady state on the source frequency, the distance of the conductors and their resistivity when connecting the source of sinusoidal voltage are examined.

Hysteresis is one of the non-linearity characteristics of the piezoelectric material. This characteristic is important to be characterized since it can affect the performance of the piezoelectric material as sensor or actuator in many applications. In this study, the model of the coupled aluminium beam with single piezoelectric patch material is constructed to investigate the hysteresis effect of the piezoelectric material to the whole beam structure. A P-876 DuraActTM type piezoelectric patch material is used in modelling of the piezoelectric actuator. Firstly, the modal analysis of the coupled beam-piezoelectric actuator is determined to get the natural frequencies and mode shapes. Then, the piezoelectric patch material is investigated in terms of actuator by given a sinusoidal voltage excitation and output in terms of deflection, stress and strain of the piezoelectric actuator are investigated. From the results, it is clear that, the coupled beam-piezoelectric material is affected by the hysteresis of the piezoelectric material and the natural frequencies of the beam structure. This characteristic is important for the piezoelectric actuator manufacturer and by providing the correction algorithm, it can improve the performance of the piezoelectric actuator for many applications.
