This paper presents a fault detection and isolation (FDI) method for open-circuit faults of power semiconductor devices in a modular multilevel converter (MMC). The proposed FDI method is simple with only one sliding mode observer (SMO) equation and...

Multi-objective modulated Model Predictive Control for a multilevel solid state transformer (2015)
Journal Article
Tarisciotti, L., Zanchetta, P., Watson, A. J., Wheeler, P., Clare, J. C., & Bifaretti, S. (2015). Multi-objective modulated Model Predictive Control for a multilevel solid state transformer. IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 51(5), https://doi.org/10.1109/TIA.2015.2429113

Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) offers many advantages over more traditional control techniques, such as the ability to avoid cascaded control loops, easy inclusion of constraint and fast transient response of the control system...
