I am a PhD student in the department of engineering, at Lancaster University. My current research focuses on developing and optimizing the Modular Multilevel Converter(MMC) topology for a WECS system. Specificall, the research aims to propose a new MMC Submodule (SM) structure based on Wide BandGap (WBG) HyS switches to reduce switching power loss, increase the converter efficiency and improve wind system performance at a reasonable cost.

Here is a brief summery of my research interest:

• Wind energy system
• Semiconductor power devices
• Modular converter topologies 
• MMC modulation and control techniques
