This review article is mainly oriented to the control and applications of modular multilevel converters (MMC). The main topologies of the switching modules are presented, for normal operation and for the elimination of DC faults. Methods to keep the capacitor voltage balanced are included. The voltage and current modulators, that are the most internal loops of control, are detailed. Voltage control and current control schemes are included which regulate DC link voltage and reactive power. The cases of unbalanced and distorted networks are analyzed, and schemes are proposed so that MMC contribute to improve the quality of the grid in these situations. The main applications in high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission along with other medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) applications are included. Finally, the application to offshore wind farms is specifically analyzed.

This paper examines the question of how to use project-based learning to increase student performance and satisfaction in a power electronics course addressing the topics of dc/dc and dc/ac converters, the assembly of a dc/dc converter, and the use of a commercial speed drive. A detailed presentation of the methodology is shown, and the results are analyzed by comparison to previous academic years and by satisfaction surveys. The new course design applies the jigsaw cooperative learning strategy to have students learn the theory of converters, solve problems, and perform simulations, before carrying out projects that solve real-world problems, such as the power converter for a competition solar vehicle (2014/15 course) and power converters for an air conditioner with inverter technology (2015/16 course). Rubrics were used to evaluate the students' work reports and the simulations. The project deliverables are presented and assessed in two design reviews, the first version covering the design and an open loop simulation, and the second covering the closed loop simulation and verification of specifications.

This work studies the efficiency and long-term viability of powered hydrogen production. For this purpose, a detailed exploration of hydrogen production techniques has been undertaken, involving data collection, information authentication, data organization, and analysis. The efficiency trends, environmental impact, and hydrogen production costs in a landscape marked by limited data availability were investigated. The main contribution of this work is to reduce the existing data gap in the field of hydrogen production by compiling and summarizing dispersed data. The findings are expected to facilitate the decision-making process by considering regional variations, energy source availability, and the potential for technological advancements that may further enhance the economic viability of electrolysis. The results show that hydrogen production methods can be identified that do not cause significant harm to the environment. Photolysis stands out as the least serious offender, producing 0 kg of CO2 per kg of H2, while thermolysis emerges as the major contributor to emissions, with 20 kg of CO2 per kg of H2 produced.
