Voltage Balancing Control Strategy for MMC Submodule Capacitors Based on Fractional Order Supercapacitors
To address the issues of repeated module switching and significant voltage fluctuations in the capacitor voltage balan-cing control strategy of MMC submodules in ultra-high voltage flexible DC converter stations,this paper investigates the opera-tion of fractional-order supercapacitors,with a focus on both the transmission and non-transmission power of the converter.A mathematical model of the MMC submodule was established based on the study of capacitor voltage below and above the refer-ence waveform voltage.A dual closed-loop control strategy for capacitor voltage was proposed.The effectiveness and feasibility of this method in voltage balancing control of submodules in ultra-high voltage flexible DC converter stations were verified by constructing a simulation model using Simulink.
