Abstract

Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) have become the converter topology of choice for VSC-HVDC systems. Excellent work has previously been conducted to develop much needed Average Value Models (AVM) for these complex converters, however there a number of limitations as highlighted in this paper. This work builds on the existing models, proposing numerous modifications and resulting in an enhanced MMC-AVM which is significantly more accurate and which can be used for a wider range of studies, including DC faults.
