Abstract:This paper introduces a hybrid chain-link push-pull series connected (H-CL-P2SC) modular multilevel converter for HVDC applications, especially for those considering a connection of off-shore wind farms to the grid. On the ac side, each converter phase is connected to the corresponding grid phase via a single-phase center-tapped transformer whereas on the dc side, the converter phases are connected in series. The required functionality of the chain-link (CL) inductors in other modular multilevel topologies is … Show more
