Modular Multilevel Converters: Control, Fault Detection, and Protection (Hardcover)

Expert discussions of cutting-edge methods used in MMC control, protection, and fault detection

In Modular Multilevel Converters: Control, Fault Detection, and Protection, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive discussion of fault detection, protection, and tolerant control of modular multilevel converters (MMCs) under internal and external faults. Beginning with a description of the configuration of MMCs, their operation principles, modulation schemes, mathematical models, and component design, the authors go on to explore output control, fault detection, capacitor monitoring, and other topics of central importance in the field.

The book offers summaries of centralized capacitor voltage-balancing control methods and presents several equivalent series resistor (ESR) monitoring methods, like the direct and sorting-based techniques. It also describes full-bridge and half-bridge submodule-based hybrid MMC protection methods and alternative fault blocking SM-based MMCs.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to modular multilevel converters, including circuits, operation principles, modulation, mathematical models, components, and design constraints
• In-depth discussions of the control of modular multilevel converters, including output control, centralized capacitor voltage control, and individual capacitor voltage control
• Comprehensive explorations of fault detection of MMCs under IGBT faults, including short-circuit and open-circuit faults
• Fulsome treatments of the control of MMCs under AC grid faults, including discussions of AC-side current control

Perfect for electrical engineering researchers, Modular Multilevel Converters: Control, Fault Detection, and Protection, will also earn a place in the libraries of electrical engineers working in industry, as well as undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in MMCs.

在《模塊化多級變換器：控制、故障檢測和保護》中，一個由傑出研究人員組成的團隊提供了對模塊化多級變換器（MMC）在內部和外部故障下的故障檢測、保護和容錯控制的全面討論。從MMC的配置、操作原理、調制方案、數學模型和元件設計的描述開始，作者們繼續探討輸出控制、故障檢測、電容器監測和其他在該領域中至關重要的主題。

該書提供了集中式電容器電壓平衡控制方法的摘要，並介紹了幾種等效串聯電阻（ESR）監測方法，如直接和基於排序的技術。它還描述了基於全橋和半橋子模塊的混合MMC保護方法和替代的故障阻塞SM-based MMC。

讀者還將找到：

- 對模塊化多級變換器的全面介紹，包括電路、操作原理、調制、數學模型、元件和設計限制
- 對模塊化多級變換器控制的深入討論，包括輸出控制、集中式電容器電壓控制和個別電容器電壓控制
- 對IGBT故障下MMC故障檢測的全面探討，包括短路和斷路故障
- 對交流電網故障下MMC控制的詳細處理，包括交流側電流控制

這本書非常適合電氣工程研究人員閱讀，也將成為從事電氣工程行業的電氣工程師以及對MMC感興趣的本科和研究生學生的圖書館收藏。
