Sažetak

Open-Circuit faults of Submodules (SMs) are the most common fault type of modular multilevel converter (MMC). Thus, in order to improve the reliability of MMC, it is very important to detect and locate faulty MMC SMs. In this paper, a new fault diagnosis and location method based on high-order harmonic analysis of the bridge arm voltage is proposed, and the characteristics of SM open-circuit faults are analyzed. In the proposed method, faults are detected by comparing the amplitude of the bridge arm voltage at the switching frequency with a variable threshold, and the phase angle of the bridge arm voltage at the switching frequency is used to locate the faulty SM. The proposed method can detect faulty SM with just one voltage sensor per arm bridge. Moreover, this method can effectively avoid misjudgment of a fault detection signal in the normal transient state. Finally, a MMC model was built using a MATLAB/Simulink environment and simulations were conducted. The experimental results show that the proposed method can not only diagnose a SM fault quickly, but can also locate the faulty SM accurately.
