In the future, the application of power electronic equipment such as medium frequency AC will also be a trend. The wideband and wide voltage device is an experimental testing device with low frequency, power frequency, medium frequency AC, and DC multiplexing functions, and has been put into operation in some flexible low frequency transmission demonstration projects.

[0003] In flexible low-frequency power transmission demonstration projects, low-frequency wind turbines, modular multilevel matrix converters (M3Cs), and wideband wide-voltage devices form a three-terminal low-frequency interconnected system on the low-frequency side. If the M3C is blocked, the wind turbine's power can only be transmitted to the grid through the wideband wide-voltage device, requiring the wideband side of the device to switch from constant active and reactive power control to constant voltage and frequency control. When the wind turbine's power switches instantaneously, the delay in the controller's action can easily lead to overvoltage in the module, and in severe cases, even damage the module.
