| Abstract |
A new test circuit for an MMC-based valve HVDC power converter is proposed. The proposed scheme satisfies the required clauses from IEC-62501. The valve test current contains second harmonic component and DC offset as well as a fundamental component that is quite similar to the real operating arm current of MMC based HVDC power system. The structure of the proposed test circuit is simple compared to conventional test circuits. Furthermore, the power supply voltage rating of the proposed test circuit is reduced dramatically around 20% of the conventional scheme with the same current rating. The validity of the proposed test circuit is verified through simulation and experimental results. |
