摘要
Open-circuit fault of sub-module attracts more attention with the increasing applications of modular multilevel converter (MMC) in high-voltage direct-current (HVDC). This paper proposes a fault detection and location strategy based on machine learning to diagnose the open-circuit fault of sub-module in a modular multilevel converter. According to the open-circuit fault characteristics, the sub-module capacitor voltages are selected as the key indicator for fault detection and location. With feature extraction, the proposed strategy constructs a random forest binary classifier to discriminate the working state of each sub-module. The strategy can locate the faulty sub-module quickly and accurately without extra sensors or mathematical models of the circuit. In order to verify the effectiveness of this strategy, a three-phase MMC prototype is built for data collection. ©2023 Chin.Soc.for Elec.Eng.
