Abstract
The modular multilevel converter (MMC) has attracted extensive research in recent years. An appropriate model is necessary to analyze stability or to design MMC controllers. Several published MMC models have been derived in single-phase form to simplify the modeling mathematics. However, little attention is given to the zero-sequence voltage, which introduces coupling in the single-phase model and leads to significant error. In this paper, after revealing the mechanism behind the zero-sequence voltage, a more accurate generalized single-phase MMC model is proposed, which eliminates the zero-sequence voltage coupling effect and is linearized based on harmonic state space (HSS) theory to precisely characterize the internal harmonic features of MMC. A systematic HSS modeling process is presented for both open-loop and closed-loop conditions. And the proposed model is generalized as it can incorporate different control strategy by controller transfer function substitution. Hence it is valuable to analyze MMC stability and dynamics. Model effectiveness is verified by simulation results.
