- Abstract
The hybrid modular multilevel converter (MMC) consisting of half-bridge submodules (HBSMs) and full-bridge submodules (FBSMs) is a promising solution for overhead lines high-voltage direct current systems (HVDC) due to the advantages of direct current short circuit fault ride-through (DC-FRT) capability. This paper proposes an improved phase-disposition pulse width modulation (PDPWM) method for the hybrid modular multilevel converter. The number of carriers can be reduced from 3N (N is the number of submodules in each arm) to 6. The theoretical harmonic analysis of the improved PDPWM method for hybrid MMC is performed by using double Fourier integral analysis. The influence of three carrier displacement angles between HBSMs and FBSMs in the upper and lower arms on harmonic characteristics is investigated. The output voltage harmonics minimization PDPWM scheme and circulating current harmonics cancellation PDPWM scheme can be achieved by selecting the optimum carrier displacement angles, respectively. The proposed method for hybrid MMC is verified by the simulation and experimental results.
