Abstract

This paper presents the modular multilevel converter (MMC), which is a new topology of voltage source converter (VSC). The converter is characterized by a modular arm structure consisting of cascade connection of half-bridge sub-module (SM) with floating dc capacitors. The topology and modulation strategy are analyzed. The applications of MMC are HVDC, FACTS and so on, which have higher and higher voltage. More and more SMs are connected in the bridge, so nearest-voltage-level (NVL) modulation strategy is taken in this paper. The transient mathematical model for MMC in dq0 reference frame is developed, and the corresponding decoupled controllers are designed to control the active and reactive powers respectively. In order to testify the proposed controllers, simulations are implemented with the PSCAD/EMTDC.
