Abstract:
Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) has opened new roads for power electronics. Starting with the basic structure and functionality of MMC, new requirements and options for future advanced converters are described. An analysis of development trends of the power semiconductors reveals, that combinations of silicon and silicon carbide devices offer great potentials for essential improvements in the next decade.
