A modulation reconfiguration based fault-tolerant control scheme for modular multilevel converters
Abstract
A modulation reconfiguration based fault-tolerant method is proposed for the modular multilevel converter (MMC) system. A practical method to reconfigure the reference sine wave is proposed from the point of view that the output line-to-line voltages should be guaranteed to be well regulated and not vary. Voltage balancing for sub-module capacitors is achieved while using carrier rotation algorithm based multicarrier pulse width modulation. Experimental results obtained from the laboratory system verified the validity and reliability of the proposed fault-tolerant control algorithm in the MMC application.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
