Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for modeling sequence impedance of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) under phase locked loop (PLL) coupling. The method includes the following steps: S1, establishing a circuit topology model; S2, establishing a PLL output characteristic model; S3, establishing a PI controller output control small signal model under a dq axis; S4, deducing a modulation small signal; and S5, calculating MMC port impedance. According to the method, a precise MMC port impedance model is established by analyzing a double mirror frequency coupling effect in the output of a modulation signal in a control link caused by a phase angle disturbance and comprehensively considering the combination of the multi-harmonic coupling effect of an MMC. On one hand, the proposed modeling method aims at a common MMC adopting current closed-loop control, in which a half-bridge sub-module is adopted, a circuit topological structure and a control structure are both more common, and a mathematical model is easy to establish. On the other hand, the physical significance of an impedance analysis method is clear, the modeling process is modular and is easy to understand and implement, and the inverter port impedance can be measured on site, so that the correctness of theoretical modeling can be conveniently verified.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a high-power machine drive system based on a modular multilevel converter (MMC), which belongs to the technical field of power generation, power transformation, or power distribution. The high-power machine drive system consists of a modular multilevel converter and a multi-pulse cycloconverter. The MMC outputs k phases of high-frequency AC voltages with a phase difference of 2π/k, and the multi-pulse cycloconverter outputs a low-frequency voltage to drive a corresponding machine. According to the present invention, the MMC is combined with the multi-pulse cycloconverter, and by adopting the MMC that operates at a high frequency, the capacity, the volume, and the weight of the energy storage capacitor of the MMC are reduced, the voltage level at the DC side of the MMC is increased, and the capacity of the drive system is increased. By adopting the multi-pulse cycloconverter, quality of an output waveform at a machine side can be guaranteed, thereby implementing low frequency control on the machine. The present invention may be adapted to drive a high-power low-speed machine.

Only capacitor voltages of SMs are involved, and no extra hardware resources are required. System parameters are not involved, construction of a system mathematical model and manual setting of an empirical threshold are not required, and the robustness is high. Faults are located using sparsity and difference of abnormal data based on unsupervised learning, mass data analysis and sample training are not required, and the method has the advantages of linear time complexity, small data volume, simple calculation process, low calculation cost, and the like.

Abstract: A loss optimization control method for modular multilevel converters (MMCs) under fault-tolerant control is disclosed. The method includes the following steps: when a fault of a SM in a MMC occurs, bypassing the faulty SM to achieve fault-tolerant control; suppressing the fundamental circulating current using a fundamental circulating current controller; respectively calculating the loss of each SM in faulty arms and healthy arms by using loss expressions of different switching tubes in SMs of the MMC; aiming at the loss imbalance between the arms of the MMC, taking the loss of a healthy SM as the reference, adjusting the period of capacitor voltage sorting control in the faulty SMs, achieving the loss control over the working SMs in the faulty SMs, and finally achieving the loss balance of each SM in the faulty arms and the healthy arms. Compared with the conventional methods, the proposed method is easier to implement and does not increase the construction cost of MMCs.
