Abstract: A full-bridge modular multilevel converter (MMC) is compared to a half-bridge-based MMC for high-current low-voltage DC-applications such as electrolysis, arc welding or datacenters with DC-power distribution.
The Full-Bridge MMC (External DC Links) block implements a full-bridge modular multilevel converter with external DC links. The converter consists of multiple series-connected power modules. Each power module consists of one H-Bridge with external DC outputs. You can choose from three model types:
The proposed MMC converter with full-bridge modules uses half the number of modules compared to a half-bridge-based MMC while reducing the voltage ripple by 78% and capacitor losses by 64% by rearranging the same components to ensure identical costs and volume.
Each pair of half-bridges includes two power transistors and two antiparallel diodes. By precisely controlling the conduction of these switches, the full bridge inverter effectively converts the DC power source into an AC output. It is a common topology in power electronics conversion.
Note that such converter will also be able to operate with DC voltage as low as Vdc=0.5pu according to Fig. 4. Alternatively, as a lower cost solution, MMC can be designed with 25% FB cells which enables DC voltage reduction to around 0.5pu (kMMC≈1).
