Abstract

See full text

A tripolar VSC-HVDC system and method include a rectifier and an inverter formed by a three-phase six-bridge arms modular multilevel converter (MMC) respectively, and two converter valves are arranged on the DC side of the rectifier and inverter respectively. The midpoint of upper and lower converter valves of the rectifier and inverter are connected with a pole 3 DC line by a smoothing reactor. Triggering of the upper and lower converter valves is controlled to change the DC voltage polarity of the pole 3 periodically, and tripolar DC transmission is realized by modulating current orders of the three poles.
