An enhanced MMC topology with DC fault ride-through capability
Abstract
High-voltage direct current system using modular multilevel converter (MMC-HVDC) is a potential candidate for grid integration of renewable energy over long distances. The dc-link fault is an issue MMC-HVDC must deal with. This paper proposed an enhanced MMC topology with dc fault ride-through capability. By using diode clamp sub-modules, the freewheeling effect of diodes is eliminated and fault currents can be very rapidly extinguished. Since the tripping of circuit breakers is avoided, MMC can immediately restart power transmission for non-permanent faults. The required rated voltage of additional semiconductors is half the conventional semiconductors, resulting in low extra cost. Simulation results using PSCAD/EMTDC have verified the validity of the proposed protection scheme.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
