Abstract

The invention discloses a modular multilevel converter open-circuit fault diagnosis method based on quartile. The method comprises the following steps: providing a variance-based capacitor voltage change quantitative index, namely a VAR index; calculating VAR values of all sub-modules to form a data set Q; the first quartile and the third quartile of the data set Q forming the upper boundary valueand the lower boundary value of the VAR value, comparing the VAR value of each sub-module with the upper boundary value and the lower boundary value, judging whether the VAR value of each sub-modulereaches the fault standard or not, and fault detection and positioning can be achieved at the same time. In addition, the quartile analysis result can also mark a specific fault switch device in the sub-module, so that fault classification is realized, and the fault-tolerant control of the sub-module is more flexible. According to the invention, only the sub-module capacitor voltage is involved, and extra hardware resources are not needed. The occurrence of single or multiple faults can be correctly handled, and system parameters are not involved, so that the method is not influenced by parameter uncertainty and has very high robustness.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a quartile-based open-circuit fault diagnosis method for a modular multilevel converter, and belongs to the technical field of multilevel power electronic converters. Background technique [0002] Compared with traditional two-level and three-level converters, modular multilevel converters (ModularMultilevel Converter, MMC) have the characteristics of high efficiency, small output AC voltage harmonics, and high modularity, and are more suitable for high voltage , high-power applications, and has broad prospects in flexible DC transmission, medium-voltage motor drives and other fields. [0003] By dividing the bulk DC capacitance into smaller capacitors, series-connected sub-modules (SM) can be implemented in MMCs. This unique structure results in no large-capacity DC capacitors, lower switching synchronization requirements and a higher degree of modularity. However, a large number of series-connected submodules poses a huge t...
