Summary: | When the modular multi-level converter of the sub-module faults, which will cause the unbalanced system, affect the normal operation of the system, so to the MMC arm configuration redundant sub-module is necessary, if the sub-module faults, redundant sub-modules will replace the fault sub-module maintaining the normal operation of system. In this paper, we propose a reasonable and effective method for the configuration optimization of redundant sub-module based on the three indexes, namely, efficient utilization of redundant sub-module, the number of redundant sub-module and the reliability of the system MMC, considering the three factors, establishing a multi-objective optimization function of redundant configuration, By calculating the optimal value to accurately calculate the number of redundant sub-module of MMC, based on the proposed redundancy configuration optimization method, building a simulation model of MMC 5 level in PSCAD, the results verify the rationality and feasibility of the proposed optimization method.
