To improve the reliability of a grid-connected converter under operation, an open-circuit fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control strategy is proposed for a T-type three-level grid-connected converter. After an open-circuit fault occurs in a power device, through the analysis of the operating state of the converter, the changing relationship between the converter output current and the currents flowing from the midpoint of the DC-side capacitor to each phase is elucidated. The average value of the converter output current and that of the currents flowing from the midpoint of the DC-side capacitor to each phase are calculated, and these values are compared with the preset diagnostic thresholds to locate the faulty power device. According to their locations, the faults are categorized into Class-I (vertical bridge arm fault) and Class-II (horizontal bridge arm fault). The corresponding fault-tolerant structures are designed for the two types of faults, and a fault diagnosis and model predictive fault-tolerant control strategy is proposed for the T-type three-level grid-connected converter. Experimental results verify that the proposed method can quickly locate the position of the faulty power device of the converter, realize fault-tolerant continuous operation and improve the reliability of the converter.
