Resumen

The use of conventional half-bridge submodules in the Modular Multilevel Converters brings important benefits such as the reduction in the power losses and semiconductor devices. However, the system with half-bridge submodule lacks the capability of blocking DC-faults currents. In this paper, a 5-level submodule with DC-fault blocking capability is presented. The proposed submodule allows to operate with different internal capacitances in order to reduce the cost of the system. Furthermore, a control and balance strategy for the novel 5-level submodule is proposed.
