Abstract

Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) based HVDC systems for bulk power transfer are increasingly used due to high reliability and simple power circuit owing to their modular structure. This paper presents the fault tolerant operation of MMC when one or more sub-modules fail in sending end converter. In the proposed approach the faulty sub-modules are bypassed and system is operated with reduced number of SMs till the faulty SMs are replaced. The system will revert back to normal operation once the failed SMs are replaced and fault is cleared. The proposed method ensures full power transfer even during fault without significant performance degradation. The fault tolerant operation is verified through simulation. The simulation results are presented.
