چکیده
Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) secured its place in applications where high reliability, efficiency and effortless voltage/power scalability are of paramount importance. Without compromising these benefits, this paper proposes a novel control appropriate design approach for Hybrid-MMC topology, comprising mix Full-Bridge HalfBridge submodules converter branches, as grid-side stage back-to-back MMC, enabling operation at variable DC link voltage arbitrary power factor. In the midst transition to Renewable Energy Sources-dominated systems, opens door use retrofit large Pumped Hydro Storage Plants speed operation, existing machines would not tolerate common-mode stress imposed by fixed-DC-link-voltage operated machine-side MMC stage. way, highly flexible grid-scale energy storage hydro capacities is enabled. additional layers have been developed verified through set test scenarios. Sizing typical operating points compared equally-rated Full-Bridge-based MMC. Improvements over solutions include unity-power-factor entire attainable range equal loading upper lower phase-leg branches regardless poin.

متن کاملHigh voltage gain DC-DC resonant converter
In this paper, a DC-DC resonant converter with high voltage gain and small size is studied. To reduce the size and weight of this converter, the operating frequency should be as high as possible. In this research, the frequency changes from 120 to 200 kHz. Due to the high operating frequency, it is necessary to reduce the switching losses using soft switching methods. Resonant converters are su...
