摘要
High voltage dc (HVdc) transmission has gradually gained its popularity in long distance transmission of power. The possibility of multi-terminal HVdc network has further projected HVDC as a potential mode of power trading across geographical boundaries. The emergence of modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based dc-dc converters has led to the interconnection of HVdc networks across voltage levels, converter technologies and line topologies. This paper puts forward a topological modification in an existing MMC-based dc-dc converter topology, acting as a hybrid interconnect between different converter technologies, for interface of an asymmetric monopolar voltage source converter (VSC) and a bipolar line commutated converter (LCC)-based HVdc links. The proposed operation of the topology is validated experimentally in a down-scaled laboratory prototype. The proposed topology is further investigated for short-circuit fault conditions in any of the poles of HVdc bus and appropriate fault mitigation strategies are adopted for short-cicuit fault in both LCC and VSC bus. The fault mitigation strategies are validated by simulation in Matlab/Simulink platform.
