Impact of DC fault blocking capability on the sizing of the DC-DC Modular Multilevel Converter
This paper analyzes the impact on the converter design of including such characteristic for the DC-DC Modular Multilevel Converter.
Polynomial multi-variable control strategy for Flux Balancing in Dual Active Bridge Converter
A novel model and a multi-variable linear control for power and magnetizing average currents are proposed
Experimental EMI study of a 3-phase 100kW 1200V Dual Active Bridge Converter using SiC MOSFETs
In this prototype, achieving full operation was prevented by false triggering of semiconductors due to large common-mode current through gate drivers.
Figures-of-Merit and current metric for the comparison of IGCTs and IGBTs in Modular Multilevel Converters
Simulation results of a MMC model and figures of merit are shown to provide consistent result, proving that the proposed figures of merit are a very simple and fast way to select the best semiconductor switch.
Unidirectional thyristor-based DC-DC converter for HVDC connection of offshore wind farms
This paper introduces a unidirectional MVDC-HVDC converter for ‘all DC’ connected offshore wind farms.
