This book provides a comprehensive review of the models and approaches that can be employed to simulate modular multilevel converters (MMCs). Each solution is described in terms of operating principle, fields of applicability, advantages, and limitations. In addition, this work proposes a novel and efficient simulation approach for MMCs based on sub-circuit isomorphism. This technique, which has its roots in the electronics fields, can be profitably exploited to simulate MMCs regardless of the model used to describe its sub-modules, including the most accurate ones. Lastly, this book considers a well-known high voltage direct current (HVDC) benchmark system consisting of two MMCs. After describing the implementation details of each benchmark component, simulation results in several scenarios (ranging from normal operating conditions to faults in the AC and DC grid) are included to validate the proposed approach and showcase its key features. Due to its educational content, this book constitutes a useful guide for PhD students and researchers interested in the topic of MMCs and their simulation. It also serves as a starting platform for junior electrical engineers who work in the field of power electronic converters for HVDC systems.

"Modular multilevel converters (MMC) have gained prominence for high power applications in recent years due to their technical merits such as voltage scalability, harmonic performance, and high efficiency. Integration of renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and energy storage systems (ESS) to the grid using power electronic (PE) resources is increasing due to the techno-economic successes achieved by such systems. Following these developments, the integration of MMCs with PV plants and ESS systems is one of the dynamic research avenues being pursued. Along these lines, an integrated development of PV plants, ESS, and alternating- and direct-current (ac/dc) power plants through Multi-port Autonomous Reconfigurable Solar (MARS) systems is proposed. The main research focus is on the modeling, control, and benefits of MARS systems compared to the discrete development of state-of-the-art PV, ESS, and HVdc links. Ultrafast high fidelity MARS HVdc models are developed to test advanced control algorithms. The advanced control algorithms include synchronverter-based (SG-based) control and grid forming predictive control methods. The grid forming control methods are defined as the control methods that regulate converter output voltage without any phase-locked loop (PLL) mechanisms. The proposed grid forming predictive control is based on the model based predictive control (MBPC-based) for frequency support and also includes traditional voltage support control. The proposed control algorithms in the MARS control architecture are evaluated for various short circuit ratio (SCR) and inertia conditions. To illustrate the technical benefits of MARS systems, the MARS system architecture is compared with the discrete development of state-of-the-art PV plants and hybrid PV plants. In addition, the MARS system is proposed as a promising solution to the momentary cessation problem often seen in PE-based resources connected to low SCR and low inertia grids"--Abstract, page iv.

This book provides a concise introduction to switching strategies for power electronics. It provides an in-depth examination of this one concept giving a newcomer a complete immersive experience which has both the depth that is needed to gain confidence yet is simple to understand. The authors examine the basic operation of power electronic systems from scratch and with the help of simulations, how these systems can be constructed. The approach used treats power electronics similar to puzzles and rather than merely presenting them and describing how they work, explore why they came to have the construction they have, and how they could potentially be modified. The authors make extensive use of simulations, with every theory and every result accompanied by a simulation. All simulations are performed by the free and open source Python programming language and the free and open source circuit simulator Python Power Electronics.
