Fault Detection for Modular Multilevel Converters Based on Sliding Mode Observer
TL;DR: In this paper, a fault detection method for modular multilevel converters which is capable of locating a faulty semiconductor switching device in the circuit is presented. But this technique requires no additional measurement elements and can easily be implemented in a DSP or microcontroller.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced Power Electronic Conversion and Control System for Universal and Flexible Power Management
TL;DR: This paper presents analysis, design, and experimental validation of a back-to-back three-phase ac-dc-ac multilevel converter employed for universal and flexible power management (UNIFLEX-PM) of future electrical grids and its advanced control technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulated Model Predictive Control for a Three-Phase Active Rectifier
TL;DR: In this article, a modulated MPC is applied to a two-level three-phase converter and compared with a number of similar approaches, and experimental results are used to support theoretical analysis and simulation studies.

TL;DR: Both iPTH level and dosage of vitamin D are associated with vascular damage and calcification in children on dialysis, with a strong dose-dependent correlation between vitamin D and all vascular measures and calcium intake from phosphate binders weakly correlated with carotid intima-media thickness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulated Model Predictive Control for a Seven-Level Cascaded H-Bridge Back-to-Back Converter
TL;DR: The results show the increased performance of the modulated model predictive control with respect to the classic finite control set model predictive Control in terms of current waveform total harmonic distortion (THD).
