Each arm of modular multilevel converter (MMC) consists of a large number of sub-module (SM) units. However, it also increases the probability of SM failure during the long-term system operation. Focusing on the fault-tolerant operation issue for the MMC under SM faults, the traditional zero-sequence voltage injection fault-tolerant control algorithm is analyzed detailed and its disadvantages are concluded. Based on this, a novel fault-tolerant control strategy based on phase disposition pulse-width modulation (PD-PWM) is proposed in this paper, which has three main benefits: (i) it has carrier and modulation wave dual correction mechanism, which control ability is more higher and flexible;(ii) it only needs to inject zero-sequence voltage in half a cycle of the modulation wave, which simplifies the complexity of traditional zero-sequence voltage injection control algorithms and much easier for implement; (iii) furthermore, the zero-sequence voltage can even be avoided injecting under the symmetrical fault conditions. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified with the simulation and experiment studies under different fault conditions.

The growth of using wind energy on a large scale increases the demand for wind energy conversion machines (WECMs), among these converters, the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is the favorite choice. However, DFIG is very sensitive to wind speed variations and grid faults during operation. In order to overcome these undesirable characteristics, this paper proposes a hierarchical fault tolerant control (FTC) to improve the performance of DFIG. The hierarchical fault tolerant control (FTC) approach consists of pitch angle control (PAC) and maximum power point tracking (MPPT). This hierarchical approach demonstrates the robust response under various (low, rated, and high) wind speed ranges and reduces the undesirable DC voltage overshoots during short-circuit disorder. The simulation results are summarized in a logical table, which depicts the order of controlling scheme and operation for a sustainable energy generation system. The proposed control scheme achieved the healthy and the robust dynamic response without deteriorating the grid power quality or stressing the converters, and approved the effectiveness to suppress the DC voltage overshoots and tolerate the lower down short-circuit disorder to its rated range.
