Identification: “Modular Multilevel Converter DC converter for HVDC grid”
Aims:
- Develop Control laws for the M2DC Converter
- Develop a prototype of Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) based on the previously developed MMC converter
- The prototype must be as closest as possible to a full scale transmission grid M2DC
M2DC scheme
- Period: from November 2015 to November 2018
- Sponsors: Ecole centrale de Lille ; French state ; L2EP
- Context: HVDC to HVDC Conversion ; Transmission Power System
- Main results:
- Develop a control architecture of a M2DC
- Use the real time simulation as an aid in the control of complex converters.
- Produce experimental results of the M2DC control method proposed by the team
