Voltage Balance

The modular multilevel converter (MMC) does not need clamping devices and multiple independent DC voltage source and has a modular structure which is easy to be extended to any level, share a DC side, easy to direct back to back four-quadrant operation and attracts widespread attention. Due to the use of sub-module MMC suspended on the DC side capacitor voltage divider provides synthetic AC output voltage required voltage level and therefore it is essential to the stable operation of the sub-module capacitor voltage balance of the MMC. In this paper, the factors affecting the MMC sub-module capacitor voltage balancing has been carried out a detailed analysis and this paper focuses on the nominal frequency erupted module capacitor voltage control strategies and the average low frequency sub-module capacitor voltage ripple suppression strategies.
