摘要
The calculation of MMC(Modular Multilevel Converter) loss is very important for the evaluation of VSC-HVDC system efficiency and the design of converter heat radiation, for which, a digital calculation method is proposed. The switching waveforms, voltage waveforms and current waveforms for a power frequency cycle are reproduced by the digital calculation program and the switching losses are acquired from the key parameters of concerned devices. A special calculation program is designed based on the proposed method, and the total losses of MMC-HVDC system are calculated and analyzed in detail for all operating conditions. The differences of loss characteristics among different devices and the impacts of switching frequency and double-frequency circulating current on the MMC loss are analyzed.
