Design of Optimal Sub-module Capacitor for a Modular Multilevel Converter - Development of reliable methodology to dimension optimal submodule capacitor in a medium voltage application. - Development of an analytical calculation model and simulation model to define optimized submodule capacitor value for “Double Star” and “Single Delta” connected MMC topologies based on: Output Power,Load Angle,Maximum Submodule Capacitor Voltage, Voltage Ripple ,Losses , Modulation Methods, THD, Cost and Dimensions.

Reliability analysis of MMC Developing reliability network, modelling and evaluation for MMC, Performing analytical reliability calculations based on interdependencies of the component for hot and cold redundant components, Cost analysis and comparison preventive and corrective maintenance for submodule of MMC. Graphical and mathematical modelling of mechanical aspects contributing to reliability analysis, Working on a research paper which was accepted by ECCE’19 conference.
