DC Fault Analysis of Modular DC/DC Converter Employing a New Submodule With Damping-Resistor

DC transformer is the key equipment to interconnect the high voltage dc systems with different voltage levels and build dc grid. Compared with the dc/ac/dc converter based on modular multilevel converter, the non-isolated modular dc/dc converter (MDCC) offers lower cost and higher efficiency, due to...
