Redundancy design for modular multilevel converter based STATCOMs
MICROELECTRONICS RELIABILITY(2019)
摘要
Many strategies have been proposed to improve the reliability of Modular Multilevel Converters (MMCs). However, the redundancy factor selection to support a converter fault tolerance operation is an important field to be explored. This work proposes a combined reliability model for the correct selection of the additional number of cells to achieve a target lifetime. This model combines both wear-out and random failures data and compute the required redundancy factor for a given reliability target. The proposed model is evaluated through a reliability-oriented case study, whereas four device voltage classes in a 13.8 kV/17 MVA MMC STATCOM are considered.
