Abstract

The invention discloses an MMC topology with DC short circuit fault current blocking ability, which relates to the technical field of modular multi-level converter. The topology consists of a new upper arm module, a reactance and absorption branch of the bridge arm, and a new lower arm module. The new modules of the upper and lower bridge arms in each phase are composed of n new submodules connected in series. Each new submodule outputs 0 or Uc voltages. The switches of the new submodules are all full-control devices IGBT, and the switches of the bridge arm reactance and absorption branch arebidirectional thyristors. In the event of a DC short circuit fault, the back-voltage control strategy is adopted to control the turn-on and turn-off of the third switch transistor in each new type sub-module, fast and effective blocking of AC system feed current is realized. At the same time, the bridge arm reactance and the absorption circuit absorbs the residual energy of the bridge arm reactorand the DC side current limiting reactor, and remarkably reduces the voltage stress of the DC side current limiting reactor and the bridge arm reactor, thus avoiding the overvoltage damage of the bridge arm reactor and the DC side current limiting reactor, and ensuring the safe operation of the device of the converter station.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of modular multilevel converters, in particular to an MMC topology with DC short-circuit fault current blocking capability. Background technique [0002] Modular multilevel converter MMC has been widely used in flexible DC projects due to its advantages of less harmonic content, low switching frequency and high reliability. However, when a bipolar short-circuit fault occurs on the DC side of the flexible DC grid, the DC short-circuit fault current rises rapidly, seriously endangering the safety of devices and the safe operation of the converter station. [0003] The traditional half-bridge MMC converter station has no DC fault clearance capability. Even if the sub-module is blocked, the feed-in of the AC system cannot be blocked, and the DC short-circuit current has no zero-crossing point, and the manufacturing process of the DC circuit breaker is immature and the cost is too high. Therefore, it is an effec...
