AB  - Achieving   DC   fault   tolerance   in   modularmultilevel   converters   requires   the   use   of   a   significantnumber   sub-modules   which   are   capable   of   generatinga   negative   voltage.   This   results   in   an   increase   in  thenumber  of  IGBT  devices  in  the  current  path,  resultingin  an  increase  in  conduction  losses  within  the  converter.This  paper  introduces  a  thyristor  augmented  multilevelstructure  called  a  Power-Group,  offering  both  negativevoltage  capability  as  well  as  a  low  conduction  loss  state,which  can  be  used  to  construct  high  efficiency  DC  faulttolerant  converters.  When  combined  with  the  AlternateArm  Converter  topology  the  power-group  concept  hasbeen found to result in a converter topology that exhibitsvery  low  power-losses,  high  quality  AC  and  DC  currentwaveforms,  while  also achieving  DC  fault  tolerance.
