In the present scenario, modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are considered to be one of the most promising and effective topologies in the family of high-power converters because of their modular design and good scalability; MMCs are extensively used in high-voltage and high-power applications. Based on their unique advantages, MMCs have attracted increasing attention from academic circles over the past years. Several studies have focused on different aspects of MMCs, including submodule topologies, modeling schemes, modulation strategies, control schemes for voltage balancing and circulating currents, fault diagnoses, and fault-tolerant control strategies. To summarize the current research status of MMCs, all the aforementioned research issues with representative research approaches, results and characteristics are systematically overviewed. In the final section, the current research status of MMCs and their future trends are emphasized. |
