Abstract
Modular multilevel converter (MMC) based solid state transformer (MMC-SST) shows promise in hybrid AC/DC distribution grid. This paper introduces a topology consisting of cells made of directly coupled MMC sub-modules (SMs) and isolated SAB modules forming a multi-port SST for grid interconnection. Due to the large SM capacitors for low frequency fluctuation power handling, the device power density is low, which will limit its application. This paper proposes an MMC-SST SM capacitor optimization method based on fluctuation power delivery. It reduces the equivalent low frequency impedance of the SAB by parallel virtual impedance. Low frequency fluctuation power will be delivered into SAB circuit and naturally eliminated in low-voltage DC side due to three-phase symmetrical MMC-SST structure. Therefore, the SM capacitance could be optimized where the power fluctuation flowing into it are reduced. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by a simulation model.
