Abstract

A hybrid real-time simulation platform with digital and physical subsystems is proposed for the MMC-HVDC(Modular Multilevel Converter based HVDC). Its system structure, equivalent principle and simulation ratio calculation are introduced, as well as its first application in engineering development. Composed of the digital system model, 49-level MMC physical simulation device, digital-analog communication interface, it carries out the total functional simulation in real time to verify the actual VBC(Valve Based Controller) and converter PCP(Pole Control Protection) system. It is applied to the fault state simulation of Shanghai Nanhui HVDC pilot project and the simulative results are compared with the test results by PSCAD, which proves the effectiveness of the introduced platform in the online real-time verification of the dynamic performance and control-protection platform of MMC-HVDC.
