Shekhar, A. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Back-to-back Modular multilevel converters (MMC) for medium voltage dc (MVDC) distribution link applications offer exciting opportunities due to its superior harmonic performance and high efficiency. Based on the steady state equations, it is shown that under specific active and reactive power operation, an increase in dc link voltage can be...conference paper 2018

Shekhar, A. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Bauer, P. (author)An important step in Voltage-Source Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) design is the selection of adequate semiconductor blocking voltage class. This paper highlights that particularly for grid connected medium voltage applications, the choice of suitable switch blocking voltage class is not so straightforward. The market available switch...conference paper 2018
