Apparently, modular multilevel converter (MMC) has been extensively used in high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission links in recent years. The efficiency of MMC stations are highly related to the switching methods and semiconductor devices. So, various switching methods and semiconductor devices have been investigated and introduced in the field. This paper settles a benchmark for an HVDC...
The balancing of the capacitor voltages in modular multilevel converters becomes increasingly difficult when the switching frequency is reduced. Typically, a reduced switching frequency will increase the spread in the capacitor voltages and, thus, the voltage ripple in the individual submodules. This paper presents a capacitor voltage balancing strategy which aims to combine a low switching frequency...
Modular multilevel converters (M2C) are increasingly used in high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. The efficiency of M2Cs is highly related to the modulation method which determines the switching frequency and capacitor voltage ripple in the converter station. A new approach to modulation of M2C is presented in this paper. Tolerance-band methods are employed to obtain switching instants, and...
