Control and Experimental Validation of the Series Bridge Modular Multilevel Converter for HVDC Applications

Abstract: The Series Bridge Converter (SBC) is a modular multilevel converter recently developed to enhance power density in high voltage, high power applications. The Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is a well established solution, widely researched and exploited in practical HVDC connections thanks to its high power quality and high efficiency. However, the main limitation of the MMC is the relatively large energy storage, also due to the fact that power ripples in the sub-module capacitors include a component at th… Show more

“…The possibility of developing a modular multilevel solar PV converter based on the MMC topology was first discussed in [69]. According to several articles, the MMC converter has exceptional performance in high-power applications such as multi-terminal HVDC systems [70,71], motor drives [72,73], offshore wind farms [74,75], and static synchronous compensators (STATCOM) [76,77]. However, MMC topology has not shown the same success in the field of solar PV systems.…”

“…To reduce the number of submodules, various topologies with a series connection of converter phases have also been introduced. Among them, the most prominent are the Parallel Hybrid Modular Multilevel Converter (PH-MMC) [17]- [18] and the Series Bridge Converter (SBC) [19]- [20]. Due to the coupling between AC-and DC-side voltages in the PH-MMC resulting in a fixed modulation index, the control of the AC output voltage is achieved by adding third harmonic components in the reference voltages [17].…”
