Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for evaluating the life of a modular multilevel converter, in particular to the life evaluation of intermittent fluctuations in the input power of flexible DC transmission and the impact of natural environments. Background technique [0002] In order to actively respond to climate change, ensure sustained and rapid social and economic development, and promote energy structure optimization and efficient utilization, large-scale development of renewable energy is the development trend of the power industry. Renewable energy is intermittent and random, and its output power has similar characteristics, which restricts the large-scale development of renewable energy. At present, there are mainly three types of grid-connected renewable energy methods: AC transmission, traditional DC transmission and Flexible-HVDC transmission. Taking wind power as an example, large-scale wind farms are connected to the grid through flexible...
