摘要
The simulation method is not applicable to rapidly assessing the power loss of hybrid modular multilevel converter (HMMC) at initial design stage, and existing analytical models mainly focus on the modular multilevel converter (MMC) constituted by submodules (SMs) with the same structure, without taking into account the impacts of active redundancy. Therefore, we proposed an analytical power loss model for HMMC with active redundancy. Firstly, both fixed level (FL) and voltage sharing (VS) redundancy modes were taken into consideration, and the modulation strategies of half- and full-bridge SMs were analyzed. Then, according to the conduction and switching states of power devices in SMs, the analytical approach to power loss of HMMC with different redundancy modes was derived. Finally, by taking a 10 MW and 10 kV MMC as an example, the efficacy of the proposed model was verified through simulations. Moreover, the influences of different redundancy modes and SM structures on power loss were analyzed and compared. The results show that, at the rated wind speed, the total loss of HMMC almost linearly increases with the increase of redundant half-bridge SMs (HBSMs) or full-bridge SMs (FBSMs). Compared with that in the FL mode, the total loss change with redundant HBSMs is slighter in the VS mode, which becomes greater with redundant FBSMs. The research can provide a theoretical basis for the loss calculation of grid-connected MMC for offshore DC wind turbine. © 2021, High Voltage Engineering Editorial Department of CEPRI.
