Modular multilevel converter (MMC) based solid-state transformer and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a modular multilevel converter (MMC) based solid-state transformer and a control method thereof. The solid-state transformer comprises a high-voltage AC / DC converter, an isolated DC / DC converter and a low-voltage DC / AC converter, wherein the high-voltage AC / DC converter is connected with the isolated DC / DC converter through a high-voltage DC bus, and the isolated DC / DC converter is connected with the low-voltage DC / AC converter through a low-voltage DC bus parallel module. In the MMC based solid-state transformer, a medium- and low-voltage DC side adopts a DC bus staggered parallel topological structure, so that the unbalanced mutual influence of a high-voltage side system and a low-voltage side system of the solid-state transformer is solved from structure, and the power supply reliability is automatically improved; with the mutually-balanced solid-state transformer based on an MMC structure, the influence of a three-phase unbalance on a power grid and the influence of three-phase unbalance occurring in the power grid on an AC load can be prevented by controlling the constant voltage of a high-voltage common DC bus.

Problems solved by technology

Currently, the commonly used solid-state transformer main circuit topology suitable for high-voltage and high-power occasions is mainly based on the H-bridge cascaded type (such as figure 1 ), solid-state transformers of neutral-point clamped multilevel converters, these topologies have many advantages, but there are also disadvantages such as difficult modular construction, complex control, and too many components required. The solid-state transformers of this type of topology The transformer does not have the function of automatically suppressing the mutual power quality interference between the grid and the load
