Abstract: The Alternate Arm Converter (AAC) is a promising multilevel Voltage Source Converter (VSC) suitable for High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems. This converter exhibits interesting features such as a DC Fault Ride Through capability thanks to the use of Full-Bridge Sub-Modules (SM) and a smaller footprint than an equivalent Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC).
