Soft-starting scheme for a DC solid-state transformer based on a modular multilevel converter

Direct current (DC) solid-state transformers based on modular multilevel converters (MMC-DCSSTs) have wide application prospects in DC transmission and distribution systems. However, after starting such a system, the normal operation of its MMC-DCSST​ may generate relatively large inrush and magneti...

The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated experimentally, and the reliability of MMC-DCSSTs can be improved with the controllable currents.
