Distributed Input Multiport MMC Based Power Converter for AC and DC Loads

A distributed input multi-port topology is proposed in this work based on the use of a Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC). The Distributed Input (DIMMC) application an MMC to multi- phases systems, such as multiport generators or transformers. converter devised for high voltage and high-power applications with inputs ship electric propulsion systems industrial available both ac dc loads. main claims DIMMC are integration, modularity, scalability fault tolerance. This analyzes steady state behavior converter, tolerance advantages/disadvantage its application.
