Open-Delta SBC: a New Converter Topology with Low Number of Sub-Modules for MV applications
This paper aims at giving a contribution to this field by proposing a new converter topology for MVDC applications.
Experimental study of the reduction and removal of turn-on snubber and its limiting di/dt clamp inductor for IGCT based MMC submodule using fast silicon diodes
The goal of this study is to determine if the snubber can simply be removed in IGCT if fast enough freewheeling diodes are used.
DC-MMC with reduced number of sub-modules providing fault blocking capability in HVDC Grids
This paper proposes to use a main switch instead of adding sub-modules in the topology to provide fault blocking capability.
