Abstract
In high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system, modular multilevel converter (MMC) is not satisfactory to maintain the balance of the capacitor voltage and doesn’t have the DC side fault ride-through capability. This paper presents that the MMC bridge arm consisting of half bridge module and clamping double sub module in series can reduce the loss of steady state operation and the amount of components. The repetitive predictive control is proposed to suppress the circulation current and balance the capacitor voltage based on the topology of MMC. A related model is built in the PASAD/EMTDC software environment and a repetitive predictive control strategy is developed. The simulation results show that the proposed system not only has the DC side fault ride-through capability, but also carries out the capacitor voltage balancing task and minimizes the circulating currents.
