AB - Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) can providesignificant advantages for power transmission applications, how-ever there are remaining challenges trading off DC fault response,losses and controllability. Alternative multilevel converter topolo-gies using combinations of full bridge and half bridge submodulesor series switches allow for competitive efficiency whilst retainingcontrol over the DC fault current. Several possible fault responsesare analysed to evaluate appropriate converter control actions.Experimental results from a 60 submodule 15 kW demonstratorare presented to validate the DC fault performance of the fullbridge MMC, the mixed stack MMC and the alternate armconverter. It is shown that each can control the current intoa low impedance DC fault, and there no requirement to blockthe semiconductor devices.
