Faults in Modular Multilevel Cascade Converters—Part I: Reliability, Failure Mechanisms, and Fault Impact Analysis

Modular multilevel cascade converters (MMCCs) are considered a promising power electronics topology in industry. Their scalability allows to reach (ultra/very) high voltage levels with low harmonic content and high efficiency and makes MMCCs an ideal solution for high-power applications, such as ele...
