Abstract:Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are widely applied to medium and high voltage occasions. The total power consumption of the submodule (SM) and the maximum power consumption of power devices in the SM are related to the operating costs and lifetime of the MMC. Existing literature only considers total power loss optimization or maximal power consumption optimization in MMC’s SM. In this article, a reduced loss and extended lifetime power loss optimum control (RLEL-PLOC) is introduced to inject the first-bes… Show more
