    Abstract: A modular multi-level converter (10) for converting a DC voltage into an AC voltage comprises a first row (14) and a second row (18) of converter cells (16, 20), each converter cell (16, 20) comprising a cell capacitor (C cell , C cell' ) and semiconductor switches (34, 36, 34', 36') adapted for connecting the cell capacitor to an output of the converter cell (16, 20) and for bypassing the cell capacitor. The first row (14) of converter cells (16) interconnects a positive DC link connection point (22a) and a negative DC link connection point (22c), wherein the first row (14) of converter cells (16) comprises an upper pair and a lower pair of series-connected strings (24a, 24b, 24c, 24d) of series-connected converter cells (16), wherein the upper pair of strings (24a, 24b) connects the positive DC link connection point (22a) with a neutral DC link connection point (22b) and provides an upper intermediate connection point (26a) between the strings (24a, 24b) and the lower pair of strings (24c, 24d) connects the negative DC link connection point (22c) with the neutral DC link connection point (22b) and provides a lower intermediate connection point (26b) between the strings (24c, 24d). The second row (18) of converter cells (20) comprises a pair of strings (28a, 28b) of series-connected converter cells (20) interconnecting the upper intermediate connection point (26a) and the lower intermediate connection point (26b) and provides an AC connection point between the strings (28a, 28b). The converter cells (16) of the first row (14) have a first cell capacity (Ccell') and the converter cells (20) of the second row (18) have a second cell capacity (Ccell) higher than the first cell capacity (Ccell'). The converter cells (16) of the first row (14) have a capacitor switch (36'), which interconnects the cell capacitor (Ccell') with the outputs (38) and which has a lower current rating than a main switch (34') of the converter cells (16) of the first row (14) connected in parallel to the cell capacitor (Ccell'). The converter cells (20) of the second row (18) have a capacitor switch (36) and the current rating of the capacitor switch (36') of a converter cell (16) of the first row (14) is smaller than a current rating of the capacitor switch (36) of a converter cell (20) of the second row (18).

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to medium voltage alternating current (MV AC) distribution networks. Isolating a fault in a feeder line of an MV AC distribution network may cause a healthy portion of a feeder line to be disconnected from all power sources. Network control systems may be able to reconnect the healthy portion to another feeder line using controllable switches such as tie switching devices coupled to the end of each feeder line. Existing MV AC distribution networks suffer from a number of shortcomings and disadvantages. There remain unmet needs including increasing reconfigurability following feeder line fault response, preventing subsequent overloads after network reconfigurations, and reducing network downtime for healthy feeder line portions. For instance, conventional distribution networks do not receive power from multiple connected feeder lines after a fault response, risking an overload in a single newly connected feeder line and reducing power transfer ability. In view of these and other shortcomings in the art, there is a significant need for the unique apparatuses, methods, systems and techniques disclosed herein.

    Abstract: A vehicular power system (1) comprises a battery branch including a battery unit (2) arranged in series with a diode (5), and a high-capacity unit (3) having a maximum voltage that exceeds a nominal voltage of the battery unit. The battery branch and high-capacity unit are arranged in parallel, to feed a load side (4) of the vehicular power system. The battery branch further comprises a switching arrangement (6) configured to disconnect the battery unit in response to excessive load-side current. The switching arrangement may allow the high-capacity unit to inject current into the load side at a voltage less than the nominal voltage of the battery unit and/or may allow the high-capacity unit to absorb regenerated current from the load side at a voltage which is greater than the nominal voltage of the battery unit.
