Reliability and Cost-Oriented Analysis, Comparison and Selection of Multi-Level MVdc Converters

Abstract: DC technology has gained considerable interest in the medium voltage applications due to the benefits over the AC counterpart. However, to utilize the full capacity of this development, the selection of a suitable power electronic converter topology is a key aspect. From the pool of voltage source converters (VSC's), it is unclear which topology is suitable for multi-megawatt applications at medium voltage dc (MVdc) levels. To address this, the paper proposes a selection guideline based on reliability and opti… Show more

“…The failure and repair rates of different sub-assemblies of typical offshore WT is considered and summarized in Table 5 [54]. The failure rate of the DC/DC converter was obtained using the methodology presented in [49]. Notably, compared to other subassemblies, the failure rates of power converters were relatively higher due to the greater intrinsic failures of semiconductor devices.…”

“…In medium-voltage (MV) applications, since a single two/three level converter cannot withstand the voltage level, multilevel topologies are required. Among them, those using cascaded modular converters are preferred due to their exceptional waveform quality, compact and modular design [9].…”
