Abstract:The measurement of the capacitor voltage of each sub-module (SM) is a crucial part of achieving robust control of modular multilevel converters (MMCs). This study proposes a master-slave structure-based capacitor voltage measuring technique (MS-MT) for hybrid MMCs, in which the SM capacitor voltages are calculated using nine processes at the corresponding sampling instants according to the changing rule of the arm AC-side voltage and SM operation states. In MS-MT, the master sensor is used to measure the overa… Show more
