1. In the MMC of Figure 1,
1.1) If the dc-side voltage is 500 kV, using IGBTs with a voltage rating of 6.5 kV, explain the way you
size the number of submodules N in each arm and write it down with enough supporting
justification. Determine the number of submodules.

1.3) Write the mathematical equations to prove that if a sine-triangular PWM with 3rd order
harmonic injection employed, 4th order harmonic will appear in the circulating current.

2- The components specify for a resonant buck converter, as shown in the following figure are:
πΏπ‘Ÿ = 4πœ‡π», πΆπ‘Ÿ = 47𝑛𝐹 and 𝐿 = 1π‘šπ», and 𝐢 = 150πœ‡πΉ. The input voltage is 48V and output voltage is
12V. The load resistance is 2Ω. Answer the following questions when the converter is operating in
steady state.
2.1) Find the switching frequency
2.2) Find the duration of resonant mode
2.3) Find the peak voltage across the resonant capacitor.
2.4) Determine the minimum duty cycle of the gate signal, in which the ZVS is guaranteed.
2.5) Determine the rating values (current and voltage) of the power MOSFET.
2.6) Assuming a rise time and fall time of 𝑑𝑓 = π‘‘π‘Ÿ = 100 𝑛𝑠, calculate the MOSFET turn-on and turnoff
losses.
2.7) What happens if the load varies in the range of 1Ω to 10 Ω.
3. In the power circuit of the following figure, IGBTs can be turned off either with a zero voltage applied
to the gate-emitter (unipolar turn off) or with a negative voltage (bipolar turn-off). In high-power
applications, the bipolar turn off is the common practice. Using the parasitic inductances 𝐿𝜎1 and 𝐿𝜎2
shown in the figure, explain the risk of using unipolar turn off and justify the reason behind using the
bipolar turn off.

Full-wave ZVS
When switch T is implemented by a MOSFET and an anti-parallel diode, D, as shown
in Fig. (b), the voltage across capacitor Cr is clamped by D to positive values, and the
resonant switch is operating in a half-wave mode.
On the other hand, when switch T is implemented by a MOSFET in series with D, as
shown in Fig. (C), and the voltage across Cr can oscillate freely, then the resonant
switch is operating in a full-wave mode.
Notice that in a current-mode resonant switch, the resonant interaction between Lr
and Cr occurs during the major portion of the on-time; while in a
voltage-mode resonant switch, the resonant interaction occurs during the major
portion of the off-time.

In the full-wave version, the voltage across Cr can
oscillate freely and become negative too as shown

Circulating Currents
β€’
Circulating currents contain negative sequence components with the
frequencies twice the fundamental one (predominantly a 2nd–order
harmonic component)
β€’
If not properly controlled/suppressed, they:
–
β€’
increase the arm rms and peak currents, which consequently increase the converter
power losses, rating values of the semiconductor devices and the ripple magnitude
of the SM capacitor voltages.
Increasing the arm inductor would reduce the magnitude of
circulating currents. However, this would adversely impact the
magnitude of the maximum attainable voltage on the AC-side of the
converter
