Abstract

This paper presents the development of a small signal analytical state-space model for a Full Bridge MMC converter. Building on the existing Half Bridge MMC analytical model, all new model equations are derived considering the new control variable, DC modulation index Mdc. The model is of 29th order, and it is developed in 3 rotating dq coordinate frames: zero sequence, fundamental frequency and second harmonic. The model is verified against detailed non-linear EMTP model for a 1 GW, 640 kV MMC test system. The verification demonstrates good accuracy for all model variables considering a range of inputs on the reference and disturbance signals. The developed model is employed to study eigenvalues position as the Mdc controller gains change, and it is concluded that Mdc controller improves damping of the dominant oscillatory mode.
