Abstract Since Modular Multilevel Converters(MMC) have a sophisticated control, the real time simulation platform becomescritical for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test of the actual controllers invarious scenarios before commissioning. This paper presents a multi-rate realtime simulator that is able to simulate electromagnetic transients of MMCsystems and connect to industrial controllers through fiber optics and copperwires for HIL tests. The MMC is implemented in field-programmable gate array(FPGA) with a sub-μs time step and the rest of the power system is simulated inthe central processing unit (CPU) with a time step of 10~50 μs. Input andoutput (I/O) drivers are implemented in the same FPGA for a fast-rate andlow-latency communication. Each FPGA accommodates up to 1530 sub-modules (SM),and multiple FPGA connected to one simulator can simulate MMC with more SM andmulti-MMC systems. The performance is demonstrated in a 1500-SM MMC study case.
摘要
子平换流器的精密控制,在其正式启用之前在不同情况中对真实控制器进行硬件在环测试的实时仿真平台变得至关重要。这篇论文介绍了一种可仿真MMC系统电磁暂态过程并可通过光纤和铜线与工业控制器连接进行HIL测试的多频率实时仿真器。MMC被以亚微秒步长在FPGA上进行仿真,其余电力系统的仿真通过CPU以10-50微秒步长来实现。输入和输出(I/O)驱动程序在同一个FPGA上以实现快速、低延迟的通讯。每个FPGA可容纳多达1350个子模块,一个容纳了多个FPGA的仿真器可实现多模块MMC和多MMC系统。仿真性能通过对有1500子模块的MMC案例的研究得到体现。
