Abstract
Medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) systems are widely used to ship power-distributed systems, wind farms, and photovoltaic power plants. With the increase of load converters interfacing into the MVDC system, the power quality deteriorates. Few research studies focused on the factors affecting the MVDC power quality, and effects caused by multiple load converters are often neglected. In this study, the mechanism of power quality deterioration caused by interfacing multiple load converters on the MVDC system has been discussed. The impedance model of the MVDC system is developed with the state-space averaging method and the small-signal analysis method. A three-level H-bridge DC/DC converter is employed as the load converter. The results by the analysis of the impedance model show that the more the load converters connect to the MVDC system, the more fragile the MVDC system is to background harmonics. Simulation cases are implemented to verify this conclusion.
