摘要
In order to meet the needs of different levels of DC voltage interconnection in DC power grid, we proposed a modular-multilevel(MMC) DC/DC converter. Firstly, we introduced the converter topology. Secondly, in accordance with the two conditions of DC/DC converter and the normal operation and the system fault, we analyzed the working principle and fault characteristics of the topology, respectively. Thirdly, we proposed the strategies of the prevention and protection of the topology, which could ensure the DC/DC converter's stable operation and fault isolation function. Finally, simulation research was carried out by the Matlab-simulink software to verify the working principle of the topology and control strategy proposed. The results show that the topology can be deployed to inter-connecter DC grid of different voltage levels, especially the application of renew energy access. Its key features include: step-up and step-down operation, bi-directional power flow, and bi-directional fault blocking. Compared with the existing topology, the topology has the characteristics of less number of components and modules, simple circuit, low cost, and small footprint, thus it has a significant advantage in the interconnection of DC grid. © 2016, High Voltage Engineering Editorial Department of CEPRI.
