Abstract

The invention discloses an isolated modular multi-level converter, which comprises three phase units linked to high-voltage direct current ports (PH, NH) in parallel; every phase unit is composed of upper and lower bridge arms; outgoing lines of electric joint points (N1, N2, N3) of the upper and lower bridge arms of three phase units are high-voltage alternating current ports (a, b, c) after linking with filter inductors in series; every bridge arm is composed of a single-grade high frequency isolating type submodule with high-voltage direct current side fault current blocking ability and a bridge-arm reactor Lm; the single-grade high frequency isolating type submodule comprises a front grade part, a high-frequency transformer part and a back grade part; the back grade part can block failed current when the high-voltage direct current side has short-circuited failure, thus the failure at the direct current side is removed. The converter structure is simple, and the converter has the advantages that the isolated modular multi-level converter is free from the high-voltage-free side capacitor and voltage-sharing control, and others; the high-voltage direct current side failure voltage can be rapidly cut off.
