Abstract
This paper proposed a novel fault detection and identification (FDI) method for modular multilevel converters based on deep convolution neural network (DCNN). According to the failure characteristics of the SMs in the MMC, the voltage signals of the capacitors in all SMs are combined as a multichannel sequence and massive data-bands are sampled from the sequence and normalized which are used as the input of the proposed model subsequently. So the FDI in power system can transform into image recognition problem. Then high-level features of the data can be learned automatically through DCNN and determine whether a SM’s fault has occurred and the faulty SM’s identification. Results show that the proposed method can quickly and accurately achieve fault detection and identification. Compared with some existing methods, the proposed method can obtain state-of-the-art results and has a good application prospect in the online MMC protection.
