    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of electric power system, and more particularly to a topology of a series-connected MMC with a small number of modules, where the topology is composed of a three-phase bridge circuit, half-bridge valve strings, a three-phase filter inductor, and a three-phase grid frequency transformer. The topology of a series-connected MMC with a small number of modules in the present disclosure needs only two half-bridge valve strings, thus greatly reducing the number of the submodules as compared with the conventional MMC structure. When achieving the same high DC voltage output, the present disclosure can improve the power density of the MMC, realize stable three-phase AC output voltage, and further achieve balance of capacitor voltages in the two half-bridge valve strings. Compared to the conventional MMC topology, the topology in the present disclosure can reduce the number of submodules by nearly ⅔, and has a greater AC-DC voltage transfer ratio, thus reducing the cost of the MMC converter, reducing the device size, and improving the power density.

    Abstract: The invention discloses a power network flexible controller topology shared by modules. Each single-phase topology comprises an AC/AC converter including N1 CHB modules, and an AC/DC module including N−N1 full-bridge rectifiers; the AC input terminals of N1 CHB modules are connected in series to form an AC port on one side of the AC/AC converter, the AC output terminals of N1 CHB modules are connected in series to form the AC port on the other side of the AC/AC converter, the AC input terminals of N−N1 full-bridge rectifiers are connected in series to form the AC port of the AC/DC module, the AC port on one side of the AC/AC converter is connected in series with the AC side port of the AC/DC module and then connected to a first AC network nd the AC port on the other side of the AC/AC converter is connected in series with the DC side port of the AC/DC module.
