Abstract
Delay generated by digital control will inevitably lead to negative damping of Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC), which also has significant impacts on the high-frequency stability of the integrated system. Controller parameter optimization is an effectively method for MMC impedance optimization and high-frequency resonance suppression. This paper firstly extends the sequence impedance model of MMC by considering delay effects, and analyzes the high-frequency impedance characteristics as well as the stability of the MMC integrated system. Then, the effect of delay on the frequency range of MMC shows negative damping can be analyzed quantitatively by a vector diagram. Based on the quantified frequency range, the boundary of controller parameters can be derived. Finally, an MMC impedance optimization method that traversal all the values within the derived parameter boundaries to obtain the optimal controller parameters that maximize the phase margin of the system.
