[0002] In existing modular multilevel converter modulation control strategies, the number of three-phase bridge arm submodules deployed is difficult to maintain strictly symmetrically under certain operating conditions, which can easily lead to the generation of common-mode voltage components on the AC side of the converter. When there is a deviation in the sum of the voltages of the upper and lower bridge arms of the three phases, the common-mode voltage will be coupled and transmitted through the parasitic capacitance between the transformer windings, causing distortion of the transformer excitation current, resulting in increased iron and copper losses, reduced system operating efficiency, and potentially causing local overheating.

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the drawings used in the following description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0019] Figure 1This is a flowchart of a modulation method for common-mode voltage suppression in a modular multilevel converter, as described in Example 1.

[0020] Figure 2 This is an experimental diagram of a modulation method for common-mode voltage suppression in a modular multilevel converter, as shown in Example 2. Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a modulation method for common-mode voltage suppression in a modular multilevel converter, comprising: S1: Receive three-phase modulation signals and determine the number of candidate modules to be put into operation for each phase bridge arm.

[0024] S2: Construct submodule input combinations based on the alternative input quantities of each phase bridge arm submodule, and calculate the total input quantity of bridge arm submodules corresponding to each combination.

[0025] S3: Using the constraint that the total number of conducting sub-modules of the three-phase upper arm and lower arm is equal, select the target combination from the sub-module input combination that satisfies the constant relationship of the total input quantity.

[0026] S4: Determine the actual number of sub-modules to be deployed in each phase arm based on the target combination.

[0027] It should be noted that under certain operating conditions, it is difficult to maintain a consistent number of three-phase upper and lower bridge arm submodules, which can easily lead to the generation of common-mode voltage, resulting in increased transformer losses and accelerated insulation aging. At the same time, existing technologies often reduce the impact of common-mode voltage by adding filtering devices or additional suppression circuits, which not only increases the system hardware complexity and operating costs, but may also bring additional power losses.

[0028] Therefore, in response to the above problems, such as Figure 1As shown, through steps S1-S4, discrete candidate construction is carried out for the number of bridge arm sub-modules to be put into operation during the modulation control process. A constant constraint on the total number of bridge arm sub-modules to be put into operation is introduced in multiple sub-module combinations. The candidate combinations are screened and optimized to keep the overall three-phase upper and lower bridge arm conducting sub-modules coordinated and consistent, thereby avoiding the generation of common mode voltage.

[0029] Example 2, refer to Figure 2 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that: a modulation method for common-mode voltage suppression of a modular multilevel converter further includes, in step S1, determining the number of candidate modules for each phase bridge arm submodule, which includes the following steps A1-A3: A1: Obtain the reference modulation voltage values ​​for each phase based on the three-phase modulation signals; A2: Round the reference modulation voltage value of each phase to obtain the basic number of corresponding bridge arm sub-modules; A3: Based on the deviation relationship between the reference modulation voltage value and the basic input quantity, determine the two adjacent input quantities of the corresponding phase bridge arm submodule as the candidate input quantities, where the two adjacent input quantities are the floor value and floor value corresponding to the basic input quantity, respectively.

[0030] Specifically, taking a five-level modular multilevel converter (MMC) with four sub-modules as an example, since the output voltages of the upper and lower bridge arms must be symmetrical (same magnitude, opposite direction), taking any phase as an example, assuming the continuous modulation signal is... , For MMC converters The actual signal output by the upper or lower bridge arm is represented as: in, [] indicates rounding, and [] indicates integer rounding. ; The floor value corresponding to the basic investment amount. This is the rounded-up value corresponding to the basic investment amount.

[0031] To further explain, the generation of the bridge arm voltage signal includes: the vector form of the following bridge arm modulation signal. for, in, , and These are the modulation signals for the lower bridge arms of the three phases a, b, and c, respectively, representing the actual number of sub-modules engaged in each phase.

[0032] When the modulation signal is a three-phase sinusoidal voltage, we can obtain: in, The modulation ratio, The initial phase angle, For the initial phase, This represents the number of submodules.

[0033] Furthermore, in step S2, constructing the submodule input combination based on the candidate input quantity of each phase bridge arm submodule includes the following steps B1-B2: B1: The candidate set is the two alternative deployment quantities of each phase bridge arm submodule.

[0034] B2: Combine and enumerate the number of candidate inputs for each phase bridge arm submodule to construct the input combination of submodules.

[0035] The submodule input combination is formed by selecting one candidate input quantity from each phase bridge arm submodule's candidate input quantity in its respective candidate set.

[0036] The total number of bridge arm submodules deployed is obtained by summing the number of three-phase bridge arm submodules deployed for each group of submodules, expressed as follows: , , .

[0037] Specifically, each phase is based on , With two different numbers of submodules as alternative methods, there are a total of 8 possible combinations for the abc three-phase configuration, as shown in Table 1: Table 1. List of Alternative Combinations

[0038] Furthermore, in step S3, selecting target combinations from the sub-module input combinations that satisfy the constant relationship of total input quantity includes the following steps C1-C3: C1: Determine the quantity deviation category of the corresponding sub-module input combination based on the total number of bridge arm sub-modules; C2: Determine the range of candidate sub-modules to be combined and screened based on the category of quantity deviation; C3: Within the candidate submodule input combination screening range, select submodule input combinations that satisfy the preset relationship of constant total input quantity of bridge arm submodules, and use them as target combinations.

[0039] To further explain, the quantity deviation category is used to characterize the deviation of the total number of bridge arm sub-modules invested in each sub-module investment combination from the preset benchmark total number of investments; the preset benchmark total number of investments is the target total number of bridge arm sub-modules to be turned on for each phase, and is used to characterize the total number of bridge arm sub-modules to be invested when the total number of the three-phase upper and lower bridge arm conducting sub-modules is equal.

[0040] The total investment quantity is constant because the total investment quantity of the bridge arm sub-modules corresponding to the selected sub-module investment combination is equal to the preset baseline total investment quantity.

[0041] The quantity deviation categories include at least three categories: the total number of corresponding bridge arm sub-modules is equal to the preset benchmark total number of modules, is lower than the preset benchmark total number of modules, and is higher than the preset benchmark total number of modules.

[0042] Specifically, the actual number of sub-modules deployed in the following bridge arm for, Because the three-phase modulation signal is symmetrical, =0; at the same time, because It can be known that It can take three values: 0, -1, and -2. The possible values ​​are 3n / 2-1, 3n / 2, and 3n / 2+1.

[0043] In this embodiment, let 3n / 2 be the preset baseline total input quantity, when When the value is 3n / 2-1, the quantity deviation category is that the total number of corresponding bridge arm sub-modules is lower than the preset benchmark total number of modules; when When the value is 3n / 2, the quantity deviation category is that the total number of corresponding bridge arm sub-modules invested is equal to the preset baseline total number of invested modules; when the value is... When the value is 3n / 2+1, the quantity deviation category is that the total number of corresponding bridge arm sub-modules invested is higher than the preset benchmark total number of invested.

[0044] To eliminate the common-mode voltage generated by the MMC converter, the number of submodules in the conducting state of the three lower arms must be equal to that of the three upper arms, that is, the total number must be kept at 3n / 2.

[0045] Under direct voltage output modulation, there are three actual number of conducting submodules: 3n / 2-1, 3n / 2, and 3n / 2+1. To eliminate common-mode voltage, it is necessary to turn off (3n / 2+1 case) or add a conducting submodule (3n / 2-1 case) to ensure that the total number of conducting submodules in the upper and lower bridge arms is equal to 3n / 2.

[0046] Therefore, based on the category of quantity deviation, and =0, -1, or -2, provided that the total number of conducting submodules in the upper and lower bridge arms equals 3n / 2, select the corresponding combination from Table 1 that meets the conditions, specifically including: such as If the result is 0, select a combination from groups numbered 1 and 2 where the sum of the number of three candidate modules equals 3n / 2; for example... The result is -1. From groups numbered 3, 4, and 5, select combinations where the sum of the number of three candidate modules equals 3n / 2. The result is -2. Select a combination from groups numbered 6, 7, and 8 where the sum of the number of candidate modules equals 3n / 2.

[0047] Furthermore, in step S4, after determining the actual number of sub-modules to be put into operation for each phase arm based on the target combination, the sub-module control signal is output to drive the modular multilevel converter to run.

[0048] To verify and illustrate the technical effects employed in this method, experimental results are compared using scientific methods to confirm the actual effectiveness of the method. Figure 2 As shown, for an 11-level MMC converter, when the DC bus voltage is 5000V, direct voltage output modulation is used before 0.25s, and the common-mode voltage is relatively large, close to ±600V; after 0.25s, after using the invented common-mode voltage suppression modulation method, the common-mode voltage drops to about ±50V.

[0049] Example 3, the third embodiment of the present invention, differs from the previous two embodiments in that: a modulation system for common-mode voltage suppression of a modular multilevel converter includes: a candidate input quantity calculation module, an input combination construction module, and a screening module; the candidate input quantity calculation module is used to receive three-phase modulation signals and determine the candidate input quantity of each phase bridge arm sub-module; the input combination construction module constructs sub-module input combinations based on the candidate input quantities of each phase bridge arm sub-module and calculates the total input quantity of bridge arm sub-modules corresponding to each combination; the screening module is used to select target combinations that satisfy the constant relationship of total input quantity from the sub-module input combinations, with the constraint that the total number of conducting sub-modules of the three-phase upper and lower bridge arms is equal, and determines the actual input quantity of sub-modules of each phase bridge arm based on the target combinations.
