Each arm of modular multilevel converter (MMC) consists of a large number of sub-module (SM) units. However, it also increases the probability of SM failure during the long-term system operation. Focusing on the fault-tolerant operation issue for the MMC under SM faults, the traditional zero-sequence voltage injection fault-tolerant control algorithm is analyzed detailed and its disadvantages are concluded. Based on this, a novel fault-tolerant control strategy based on phase disposition pulse-width modulation (PD-PWM) is proposed in this paper, which has three main benefits: (i) it has carrier and modulation wave dual correction mechanism, which control ability is more higher and flexible; (ii) it only needs to inject zero-sequence voltage in half a cycle of the modulation wave, which simplifies the complexity of traditional zero-sequence voltage injection control algorithms and much easier for implement; (iii) furthermore, the zero-sequence voltage can even be avoided injecting under the symmetrical fault conditions. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified with the simulation and experiment studies under different fault conditions.
