The Impact

Sub-module (SM) faults in modular multilevel converters (MMCs) without redundancies result in unbalanced converter output voltages and improper control of modulation due to an unequal number of SMs inserted between the different phase-legs. The derived mathematics model of the MMC demonstrates the impact of the SM fault in the circulating currents and capacitor voltages. For achieving the SM fault-tolerance, detailed analysis of the MMC’s electrical quantities under SM fault-tolerant algorithms is provided together with two modulation reconfiguration techniques for maintaining voltage balance. Fault-tolerant abilities of the two modulation algorithms are also discussed and defined. Simulation results from a 21-level converter and experimental work in a three-phase five-level converter demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the proposed fault-tolerant control strategies.
