摘要
This paper describes operation mechanism of modular multilevel converter (MMC) and damage analysis of sub-module faults in MMC. Because traditional redundancy protection strategy shows disadvantage of complicated structure and time-consuming computation, this paper proposes a new protection strategy by combining redundancy protection strategy with selective virtual loop mapping (SVLM) method. By combining virtual sub-module method inside, the method puts hot standby sub-module into loop mapping with advantage of reducing computation in sorting algorithm and increasing put-in-speed of redundancy sub-module. For sub-module fault without hot stand-by, two methods named lack of level operating scheme (LLOS) and line-voltage constant operating scheme (LCOS) are proposed to maintain system stability in single sub-module fault condition. Experiments on five-level MMC platform confirm effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed methods. © 2016, Power System Technology Press. All right reserved.
