This paper investigates the prediction of the second order dc voltage ripple in a modular multilevel converter (MMC) based point-to-point high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) system when the rectifier station suffers a single-line-to-ground (SLG) fault. Under this unbalanced condition, the second order dc voltage ripple will transfer to the healthy inverter station and can lead to a potential output...
This paper presents an active gate driver (AGD) for IGBT modules to improve their overall performance under normal condition as well as fault condition. Specifically, during normal switching transients, a di/dt feedback controlled current source and current sink is introduced together with a push–pull buffer for dynamic gate current control. Compared to a conventional gate drive strategy, the proposed...
This paper deals with the system structure and operating principle of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) with integrated arm inductors for improved performance. The proposed integrated inductors provide inductances not only for circulating current suppression, but also for switching ripple mitigation. Compared with the conventional MMC structure implemented with two separate inductors connected...
Shunt Active Power Filters (SAPF) have been proved to be an effective approach to eliminate harmonic current in power grids. The DC voltage control during dynamic processes is critical for the safe and performance of the SAPF. In this paper, soft startup and impact suppression techniques are proposed to guarantee no voltage overshoots or sags in DC bus during startup and other dynamic processes. Subsequently,...
Planar busbars have played a significant role in reducing the parasitic/stray inductance in modern high power converters, which is caused by physical current path loop from the IGBT to DC capacitors. Consequently, it may lead to such problems as non-ideal converter operation, over-voltages, voltage drop, current unbalance and resonance with DC capacitors as well as snubber capacitors, especially applied...
