Abstract

Under the condition of grid voltage imbalance, the circulation of the bridge arm inside the modular multilevel converter (MMC) increases significantly, which leads to the aggravation of the distortion of the bridge arm current, and, thus, increases the system loss and reduces the power quality. To address this problem, this paper analyzes the mechanism of circulating current generation and proposes a circulating current suppression strategy based on a reduced-order generalized integrator (ROGI), which firstly uses the ROGI system to separate the second-harmonic positive- and negative-sequence components in the circulating current from the DC, and then converts the rotating coordinates of the circulating current’s second octave component into the DC to be fed into the proportional–integral quasi-resonance (PIR) controller for suppression. A simulation model of a 23-level MMC inverter is built in MATLAB/Simulink, and the control strategy proposed in this paper is compared with the classical proportional–integral (PI) control in simulation experiments. The simulation results show that the amplitude of the circulating current fluctuation of the classical PI control is reduced from 90 A to 22 A, and the harmonic distortion rate of the bridge arm current is reduced from 32.56% to 5.57%; the amplitude of the circulating current fluctuation of the control strategy proposed in this paper is reduced from 90 A to 5.7 A, and the harmonic distortion rate of the bridge arm current is reduced from 20.2% to 1.13%, which verifies the effectiveness of the pro-posed control strategy.
