Abstract

The purpose of the research is to present a brief review of voltage source converter (VSC) topologies with their operating principles for energy applications, such as high voltage dc transmission (HVDC) and flexible ac transmission system (FACTS), which can be employed in the field of electric power generation, transmission and distribution systems. In this paper, several commonly used VSC-based high-power energy consumer topologies are presented and discussed, including the neutral-point-clamped (NPC), flying-capacitor (FC), cascaded H-bridge (CHB) and modular multilevel converters (MMC). A list of available industrial VSC-based high-power energy consumers is included. The most common and relevant energy applications of these converters are provided. At last, the directions of their future development are addressed. Each selection of converter topology and control method is closely related to each specific application, so that there are many options for different energy applications, depending on their own special technical specifications like system stability, dynamic performance, and total expenditure.

用于能源的电压源变换器综述

本研究的目的是简要回顾电压源变换器(VSC)拓扑结构及其工作原理，以供能源应用，如高压直流输电(HVDC)和柔性交流输电系统(FACTS)，可用于发电、输配电系统领域。本文介绍并讨论了几种常用的基于vsc的大功率能耗拓扑，包括中点箝位(NPC)、飞行电容器(FC)、级联h桥(CHB)和模块化多电平变换器(MMC)。包括可用的基于vsc的工业高功率能源消费者列表。提供了这些转换器最常见和相关的能源应用。最后，对其未来的发展方向进行了展望。每种转换器拓扑结构和控制方法的选择都与每种具体应用密切相关，因此根据各自的特殊技术规格，如系统稳定性、动态性能和总支出，有许多不同能源应用的选择。
