The requirement of a large number of sizeable capacitors in traditional modular multilevel converter (MMC) submodules is seen as a major barrier hampering its widespread use in medium-voltage applications. In order to reduce the value of capacitance, this paper presents a modified modular multilevel converter (M-MMC) topology which offers inherent alleviated capacitor voltage fluctuations compared to traditional MMC. Its operating principle, modulation and capacitor voltage balancing strategies are described in detail. Besides, a novel capacitor voltage fluctuation suppression scheme is also proposed to further reduce the second-order capacitor voltage ripples. Finally, both a three-phase prototype of M-MMC and traditional MMC have been built in the laboratory. Effectiveness of the proposed M-MMC topology and control methods is verified experimentally by comparing with the traditional MMC. |
