AI Technical Summary
When the machine-side and grid-side frequencies of the H-MMC motor drive system are nearly identical, the differential frequency power of the bridge arm approaches infinity, causing unstable capacitor voltage in the bridge arm submodules, which may damage capacitors and other equipment. Existing solutions increase circulating current losses or control complexity.
A comprehensive control method for synchronous operation of the H-MMC motor drive system is adopted, including phase angle compensation calculation, machine-side speed control, grid-side power control, bridge arm submodule voltage stabilization and equalization control, and modulation wave calculation. Through simple control methods, the voltage fluctuation of the bridge arm submodule capacitor is suppressed, ensuring stable system operation.
It effectively suppresses voltage fluctuations in the bridge arm submodule capacitors, ensuring stable system operation. It eliminates the need for additional circulating current, reduces system losses, and simplifies the control method.
