摘要
Multilevel modulation operation of modular multilevel converter (MMC) reduces switching frequency of power switches greatly, which brings opportunities for application of integrated gate commutated thyristor (IGCT). This paper discussed high-voltage and high-power MMC scheme based on IGCT, and made a detailed analysis on topology, conduction and switching behaviors. Based on this, the performance of power loss of IGCT-MMC was analyzed comprehensively. At last, an experimental platform of IGCT-MMC was built, experimental research of large current switching-off and high power operation was conducted, and the results verified the correctness and effectiveness of IGCT-MMC. The research of the paper has practical significance and scientific value to promote IGCT for application in flexible high voltage direct current transmission (HVDC) and to achieve higher voltage, higher power, higher efficiency and higher reliability of flexible HVDC. © 2019 Chin.
