Abstract:
A method for controlling a chain-link power converter including three phase legs, each of which phase legs includes a plurality of series-connected converter cells, each of the cells including a DC capacitor, the phase legs being connected in a delta configuration. The method includes detecting an unsymmetrical voltage condition at a terminal of the converter; determining a ratio between a zero sequence and a negative sequence component of a compound current to be injected into the converter, based on the detected unsymmetrical voltage condition; calculating the compound current comprising the zero sequence component and the negative sequence component in accordance with the determined ratio; and injecting the compound current into the converter to control the converter in view of the detected unsymmetrical voltage condition.
