  • Patent number: 9444322
    Abstract: Provided is a method for suppressing a circulating current in a modular multi-level converter for a high voltage direction-current (HVDC) transmission system. The HVDC transmission system converts an alternating current (AC) into a direct current (DC) and vice versa, transmits energy using a DC cable, and including a modular multilevel converter generating a high voltage source by stacking a plurality of sub-modules in series. In the circulating current suppression method, a circulating current (idiffj; j=a,b,c) of a,b,c phase in an abc 3-phase stationary reference frame, a DC current (idc) flowing in a DC cable, a current reference value (i*dc) of a DC component that needs to flow in the DC cable are inputted. The circulating current (idiffj) of the a,b,c phase is controlled to become zero. A compensation value (V*diffj) for suppressing a harmonic component of the circulating current is outputted.

  • Patent number: 9350270
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a driving method for a modular multi-level converter. The driving method include inputting a current reference value (i*pj2) of the upper valve of the modular multi-level converter, measuring a current value (ipj2) of the valve, calculating an error value (errpj2) between the current reference value and the measured current value of the upper valve, measuring a DC link voltage value (Vdc2) of the modular multi-level converter, measuring a AC-grid voltage value (Esj) of the modular multi-level converter, and calculating a voltage reference value (u*pj2) using the current reference value (i*pj2), the measured current value (ipj2), the error value (errpj2), the DC link voltage value (Vdc2), and the AC-grid voltage value (Esj).
