dc.description.abstract | Many particle accelerators require to supply chains of magnets with high quality, high magnitude, cycling currents. To do this, the power converters need to provide high output voltages, reaching in some cases tens of kilovolts. Additionally, converters are required to store the magnet energy during de-magnetization cycles. For such application, Full-bridge Modular Multilevel Converters (FB-MMC) could be used given their capacity to store energy and their inherent reliability. In this sense, one of the most interesting features of the proposed topology is the possibility of bypassing one or several submodules in the event of a fault or malfunction. By doing this, it is possible to ride-through the failure of a component and avoid the interruption of the accelerator operation. However, when the number of submodules is small, this operation could lead to an excessive charge of the healthy cells, increasing the risk of secondary failures. Besides, undesired harmonic content could appear on the output current, degrading the operation of the accelerator. It is then necessary to implement strategies that allow to remove a faulty cell without significantly impacting the operation of the remaining ones and of the converter itself. Accordingly, the purpose of this article is to investigate several of these strategies and assess them. By means of detailed computer simulations, the behaviour of the converter during normal and submodule fault conditions is analysed. Then, several fault-tolerant strategies are described, verified and compared with the aid of simulation tools. The results show the effectiveness of the analysed strategies in avoiding the overvoltage on the healthy submodules after a cell bypass and the little impact of this operation on the quality of the converter output current. | ca_CA |
