Abstract
Operational test experiments are important means to ensure the safe and reliable operation of converter valves for voltage sourced converter based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) transmission. In this paper,the operating characteristics of modular multilevel converter (MMC) valves for VSC-HVDC were analyzed and a new operational test topology, based on H-bridge structure, was proposed. And then,the AC/DC equivalent circuit models were built. According to the balance between AC and DC power,the mathematical model and operating mechanism of the test circuit was presented. At last, the operational test platform was built and the 500kV/3000MW converter valves were tested. The experimental test results verified the validity and effectiveness of the proposed operational test topology.
