摘要
The Medium Voltage dc (MVDC) distribution is actively being sought as the eventual structure for the next generation shipboard electrical power systems and the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) has become a preferred choice for MVDC systems. However, the fault response is a big challenge for both the shipboard MVDC system and the MMC. A fault current control is proposed to work with MMCs composed of full-bridge Power Electronics Building Blocks (PEBBs). The converter is able to fast clear the fault current when a dc shortcircuit fault happens and easily restore the service after the fault is isolated. The fault response is verified by both simulation results and experimental results from a three-phase SiC PEBBs based MMC prototype.
