This book was released on 2014 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the analysis and control of a multilevel modular converter (MMC)-based HVDC transmission system under three possible single-line-to-ground fault conditions, with special focus on the investigation of their different fault characteristics. Considering positive-, negative-, and zero-sequence components in both arm voltages and currents, the generalized instantaneous power of a phase unit is derived theoretically according to the equivalent circuit model of the MMC under unbalanced conditions. Based on this model, a novel double-line frequency dc-voltage ripple suppression control is proposed. This controller, together with the negative-and zero-sequence current control, could enhance the overall fault-tolerant capability of the HVDC system without additional cost. To further improve the fault-tolerant capability, the operation performance of the HVDC system with and without single-phase switching is discussed and compared in detail. Lastly, simulation results from a three-phase MMC-HVDC system generated with MATLAB/Simulink are provided to support the theoretical analysis and proposed control schemes.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To take full advantage of multilevel modular converter (MMC) and extend its application in high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems, the ability to deal with severe unbalanced conditions, especially under single-line-to-ground (SLG) fault, is a key requirement. This dissertation deals with the development of a fault handling strategy, which helps HVDC systems achieve continuous energy supply and desired operation performance under temporary SLG fault conditions while ensuring a smooth and fast black start for MMC-HVDC particularly if the system has to shut down when a permanent SLG fault occurs. Several related research topics will be discussed in this dissertation. First, a steady-state model of MMC for second order phase voltage ripple prediction under unbalanced conditions is proposed. From the steady-state model, a circular relationship is found to evaluate the magnitudes and initial phase angles of different circulating current components. Moreover, the derivation of the equivalent dc impedance of a MMC is discussed as well. Second, the analysis and control of a MMC based HVDC transmission system under three possible SLG fault conditions are discussed. Based on the derived steady state model, a novel double line frequency dc voltage ripple suppression control is proposed. This controller, together with the phase and circulating current control, could enhance the overall fault-tolerant capability of the HVDC system without additional costs. Third, the small signal model of the capacitor charging loop in a MMC inverter is first derived according to the internal dynamics of the MMC inverter. Based on this model, a novel startup strategy incorporating an averaging capacitor voltage loop and a feedforward control is proposed for enhanced dynamic response and system stability. Finally, a cascaded droop control scheme is proposed for multi-terminal HVDC systems to deal with dc overvoltage under onshore converter side SLG fault. Using ac voltage magnitude as an intermediate variable, the dc voltage information of offshore converters can be transferred to windfarms (WFs) and adjust their active power generation without any communication. With such control scheme, performance of the studied four-terminal HVDC system under various fault conditions are analyzed and compared.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional radial AC distribution systems cannot effectively accommodate the rapidly increasing renewable energy sources (RESs) and new loads such as fast charging stations of electric vehicles. To address the pressing challenges, active distribution grids and DC systems have attracted significant interests with their many potential benefits. Considering that AC and DC systems will coexist in future distribution grids wherever suitable, hybrid AC/DC distribution is regarded as a promising and practical solution for future distribution systems. The focus of this work, multiport interlink modular multilevel converter-based solid-state transformers (iMMC-SSTs), is expected to play a key enabling role in hybrid distribution systems to integrate different grid entities, including both AC and DC networks at both medium and low voltage levels. The iMMC-SST features capabilities such as bidirectional power transfer, fault isolation and restoration, system reconfiguration, and voltage regulation. However, power electronics-based SSTs are more vulnerable under abnormal conditions, which hinders their adoption in practical systems. The high number of circuit elements are potential fault sources in the iMMC-SST. The possible faults of the SST and the connected feeders can destroy balance of the system and even result in second faults. A comprehensive protection scheme for the iMMC-SST is indispensable to ensure the device's safety and improve the system's reliability and robustness. Based on the fault location, abnormal conditions are in general divided into external and internal types. In this work, grounding scheme for the SST is designed and investigated to address typical external fault conditions such as the single line-to-ground (SLG) short-circuit fault and single pole-to-ground (SPG) short-circuit fault. For internal abnormal conditions, power switch faults are of major concerns of the iMMC-SST since a switch failure will lead to arm voltage imbalance, circulating current increase, and second faults. The submodule (SM) switch open-circuit (OC) fault analysis is presented considering different operation modes of the iMMC-SST in Chapter 4. Unlike traditional MMC applications, the iMMC-SST has different fault characteristics, and the previous fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant schemes developed for other applications are not applicable here. Based on detailed analysis of the fault behaviors, a fault-tolerant scheme based on the global redundant module and unbalanced control is proposed in Chapter 5. Similarly, the dual active bridge (DAB) switch OC fault is studied in detail, and a DC current injection fault-tolerant method is proposed to address the overcurrent and transformer saturation issues in Chapter 6. The proposed solutions and their analysis are verified with MATLAB simulations and experiments with scaled-down laboratory prototypes.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Electrotechnology, University of Peshawar (University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar, Pakistan), course: High Voltage Direct Current, language: English, abstract: Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) has become the most concerned converter topology in the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission system, in recent times. The low switching frequency, low converter losses and flexible control made it most attractive topology. It is important to make a research on the loss calculation method of MMC and state formulae for the losses as it is a vital step during the design stage of the MMC based HVDC system. In this research work, the structure of MMC based HVDC system is discussed. Three sub module topologies’; half bridge, full bridge and clamp double sub module, are discussed. A method based on the average and root mean square (RMS) values of the current passing through the sub module is discussed. The conversion losses in the switching devices of the sub modules are calculated using the method. A cases study is taken into consideration then with certain parameters. Using these parameters a MATLAB program is developed. With the help of the program the losses and efficiency curves for each switching device by taking each sub module separately are obtained respectively. A comparison of the losses and efficiency of each sub module is also discussed. At the end those factors which effect the losses and efficiency of the sub module are discussed along with the certain aspects for the directions of future work.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "High-voltage direct current (HVDC) system is more efficient than high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) system for long-distance, bulk power transmission. Modularity, flexibility, reliability and high efficiency make the modular multilevel converter (MMC) the topology of choice in HVDC applications. Because the increasing number of installations shows that the MMC-HVDC is the HVDC of the future, this thesis is continuing research to advance the capability of the MMC-HVDC. This thesis focuses on fast simulation capability and control strategies for the MMC-HVDC. The main objectives are: (1) to develop a fast and accurate simulation model of a single MMC station and models of multi-terminal MMC-HVDC stations (MTDC-MMC); (2) to investigate the method to design proper parameters for high damping; (3) to design the MMC-HVDC with the capability of power oscillation damping (POD). Simulation is computation-intensive in MMC. The thesis develops a fast and accurate method by which an MMC station is modeled by ordinary differential equations (ODE). The proposed MMC ODE model is implemented in MATLAB SIMULINK and its correctness is validated by the MMC Detail Equivalent Model (DEM) in RT-LAB. Taking advantage of its speed and accuracy, a Four-Terminal MMC-HVDC system based on the MMC ODE model is developed. The ODE model meets the speed and accuracy requirements of power systems engineers who are concerned with planning, operation and protection studies. As the ordinary differential equations are nonlinear, small perturbation about a steady-state is applied to obtain the linearized time-periodic matrix. The steady-state takes a long time to simulate because it depends on the transients to have all damped out. The method of Aprille and Trick is applied. Simulation converges to the steady-state in one cycle of 50 Hz. The resultant linearized matrix is time-periodic. The Floquet-Lyapunov Theorem is applied to construct the state-transition matrix from the linearized time-periodic matrix. The eigenvalues of the state-transition matrix contain the coefficients of damping. Graphs of damping coefficients plotted against different sizes of circuit parameters are displayed to assist designers in realizing high damping. The thesis looks for opportunities to add value to the MMC-HVDC. The active power transmissibility of AC transmission lines is limited by the transient stability limit which is significantly below the thermal limit. Extensive research and development have been pursued to increase the transient stability limit by flexible AC transmissions system (FACTS). This thesis seeks to use the MMC-HVDC to operate as power oscillation damper to increase the power transmissibility. The thesis looks for opportunities to integrate previously proven control methods into a common universal control. The Universal Controller brings together the deadbeat control, the circulating current suppression control (CCSC), the POD and the decoupled P-Q strategy in the control of the MMC-HVDC station by the MMC ODE model. Deadbeat control enables the MMC to survive destructively large AC fault currents to improve the transient stability of AC grids"--

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the design, analysis, and operation of modular multilevel converters (MMC) for HVDC applications. Based on the operation principles of the MMC, the operation of MMC under asymmetrical arm impedance conditions is analysed using three equivalent sub-circuits at different freqeuncy. Detail analysis of the impact of asymmetrical conditions on the differential-mode current, the common-mode current and sub-module (SM) capacitor voltages, is performed. Based on the analysis, the corresponding control targets and an improved control strategy are designed to improve the operation performance. Considering the advantages of half-bridge based SM (HBSM) and full-bridge based SM (FBSM), a hybrid MMC (H-MMC) configuration consisting of FBSMs and HBSMs is proposed. By adopting the negative voltage state for some of the FBSMs, the output voltage range is extended to increase converter power transmission capability. By considering the relationships between the AC and DC voltages, AC, DC and arm currents, the ratio of the numbers of the FBSM to HBSM is analysed in order to maintain capacitor voltage balance and retain DC fault blocking capability. An equivalent circuit for the H-MMC is proposed, which considers each arm to be consisted of two individual voltage sources. This model is used to analyse SM capacitor voltage balancing and ripple. A two-stage selection and sorting algorithm is developed to ensure capacitor voltage balancing among the SMs. The proposed H-MMC is compared to other topologies in terms of power device utilization and power losses, and it shows that the H-MMC has higher device utilization and lower power loss than the conventional FBSM based MMC; Furthermore, The DC fault ride-through capability of the H-MMC are discussed. It is found that the H-MMC can not only isolate the DC fault, but also coniture operating at a wide DC voltage range from zero to rated value. Such two features of the H-MMC show the advantages in the hybrid configurations over the conventional FBSM and HBSM systems. Finally, two applications based on the proposed H-MMC are presented; one is a high power DC/DC converter with fault blocking capability for interconnecting large HVDC systems, and the other is a hybrid HVDC transmission system comprising a wind farm side VSC based on the H-MMC and a grid side LCC for transmitting wind power to AC grid.
