Circulating Current Suppression and Capacitance Voltage Balancing Strategy for Modular Multilevel Converter Based STATCOM
The operation principal of the modular multilevel converter(MMC)is analyzed
and a mathematical model of MMC based STATCOM is deduced.Calculation reveals that the total energy stored in the capacitances in each MMC arm can be controlled by the circulating current icirj
and the capacitance in each sub-module can be balanced by the suppression of this circulating current.A voltage balancing strategy with a circulating suppression controller is design based on carrier phase-shifted SPWM.Furthermore
an overall control method for MMC based STATCOM with this voltage balancing strategy is proposed.The correctness and effectiveness of the proposed strategies are verified by simulation.
