Summary The modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are frequently preferred for medium and high power energy conversion systems thanks to their modular structure and high quality output waveform. The remarkable studies related to the MMC have been carried out in recent years, which are mainly focused on its topology, control, or application. In this paper, MMC circuit topologies consisting of traditional submodule cells and new proposed configurations are introduced, and their control process, modulation techniques, and application areas are discussed in order to provide the readers the current state of the art of MMC technology. A wide part of this article is devoted to demonstrate the recent contributions arising in MMC studies. In this context, this paper not only outlines the circuit topology, control objectives, and applications of the MMC but also presents a comprehensive review, principally in terms of the latest developments of it. Ultimately, detailed proposals and new possible topics are provided to drive future expectations of MMC technology.

“…Advances in ICT are playing a key role in the development of real-time simulation technologies. With the incorporation of standards and protocols of communication, data management, and control, such as IEC 61850 [17,19,36,49,51,69,70], IEC 61970 [69,71], and DNP3 [17,38,47,49,60,72,73], applications that previously needed equipment and devices to be close to each other due to connectivity and data acquisition requirements are no longer subject to this limitation. Using Ethernet and WLAN networks through the protocols as mentioned, it is possible to integrate, simulate, and monitor in real time the performance and behavior of protection, control, and communications equipment and devices that comprise the real electrical grid.…”

In recent times, real-time simulation has been used to validate the testing and design of protection, control, and communications systems prior to their commissioning in the field, which has improved the reliability and security of the commissioning processes for electrical systems. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art and future trends in protection, control, and communications testing of electrical grids using real-time simulation. In addition, a summary is presented in which all the works and technologies mentioned are listed with the purpose of identifying new challenges in the proposed topic. Finally, future trends related to the use of real-time simulation for evaluating protection, control, and communications schemes are presented. Real-time simulation is very useful due to the increasing complexity of modern electrical power systems, therefore, it is necessary to use this kind of tool to facilitate field testing, avoid unnecessary work, and reduce costs for clients.

Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOMs) are being employed by Dominion Energy to control voltage and enhance system stability. Due to the complexity of the control systems, operational modes, and nonlinearities, it is essential to evaluate STATCOMs' behavior to ensure their correct and proper response to dynamic events such as line faults, generator trip, or load rejection throughout the grid. This procedure brings benefit to device management by identifying potential equipment problems and improve dynamic model for simulation study. The proposed framework utilizes operation data collected in Digital Fault Recorder (DFR) to evaluate STATCOM's response to dynamic system events. One of the challenges on getting accurate model response comes from STATCOMs with automatic gain adjustment feature. This feature actively measures the external system's Thevanin impedance and accordingly changes the STATCOM gain. Therefore, when trying to recreate the field measurements in the simulation environment, it is necessary to match the short circuit level (SCL) of the external system equivalent. This paper presents how these issues have been solved in order to evaluate STATCOM's performance. Finally, the effectiveness of proposed performance evaluation method is validated based on two actual events caused by faults.
