Modular Multilevel Converter Mathematical formula

17 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have developed a simulation for an MVDC distribution system using a bipolar full bridge MMC. How can I calculate the fault current or derive a mathematical formula for my simulated system?
i want to derive a mathimatical equation for the calculation of pole-to-pole and pole-to-ground fault. for my distribution system. Looking forward for the suggestions.

Modeling MMC (Modular Multi-level Converter) using mathematical equations is not an easy task. Realistically, mathematical modeling for a complex dynamics plant like MMC is extremely challenging. If a fault is introduced, the dynamics change significantly, requiring constant adjustments, which is practically unfeasible. If the system is interconnected, the degrees of freedom will be incredibly high, leading to a complex model. In this case, it would be advisable to utilize a Plant modeling solution.
By visiting this link and using Simscape Electrical, you can relatively easily model the MMC and the system interconnection. For simulating fault conditions, you can assume fault situations by utilizing blocks like the one found here. For examples of fault situations in Simscape, you might find this example helpful.
For your information, if you need to simulate open/short situations in specific phases of MMC, you can model it using this resource.

  1. Modulation Index (MI):
  • The modulation index is a crucial parameter in MMCs. It determines the quality of the output waveform and affects the efficiency and performance of the converter.
  • The MI is defined as the ratio of the amplitude of the fundamental component of the output voltage to the amplitude of the carrier signal.
  • Mathematically, the modulation index (MI) can be expressed as: [ MI = \frac{V_{\text{fundamental}}}{V_{\text{carrier}}} ] where:
  • (V_{\text{fundamental}}) is the amplitude of the fundamental component of the output voltage.
  • (V_{\text{carrier}}) is the amplitude of the carrier signal.
  1. Parameters for Designing an MMC for Grid Connections:
  • When designing an MMC for grid connections, several critical parameters need consideration:
  • Voltage Rating: Determine the required voltage level based on the grid specifications.
  • Current Rating: Calculate the current rating based on the power transfer requirements.
  • Number of Submodules (SMs): Decide the number of SMs in each arm of the MMC. More SMs allow better voltage scalability.
  • Capacitor Voltage Balancing: Implement control strategies to maintain balanced capacitor voltages across SMs.
  • Switching Frequency: Choose an appropriate switching frequency to minimize losses and achieve desired performance.
  • Modulation Strategy: Select a suitable modulation technique (e.g., Phase-Shifted Carrier-Based PWM, Level-Shifted Carrier-Based PWM) to generate the desired output waveform.
  • Fault-Tolerant Behavior: Consider fault detection and mitigation mechanisms to enhance system reliability.
  • Gate Driver Design: Design robust gate drivers for the power semiconductor devices.
  • Filter Design: Include filters to reduce harmonics and meet grid requirements.
  • Protection and Control: Implement protective features (overcurrent, overvoltage, etc.) and control algorithms.
  • Heat Dissipation: Address thermal management to prevent overheating.
  • Grid Synchronization: Ensure synchronization with the grid frequency and phase.
