MMC Submodule Capacitor Health Monitoring Method
A solution to enhance the maintenance of the submodule
Description
SuperGrid Institute has developed a method (know-how) to estimate the value of the capacitor, and by the way its condition, that can be implemented real time or off-line, that doesn’t require any additional sensors.
TRL SCALE
