Abstract
The present invention discloses a charging method for a sub-module based hybrid converter. By setting a half-controlled charging link of half-blocking all full bridge sub-modules in a charging process, and raising the voltages of half bridge sub-modules to reach the starting point of a half bridge sub-module based self-powered supply in an uncontrolled stage of the half bridge sub-modules, the starting point of the sub-module based self-powered supply is increased, and the design difficulty of the sub-module based self-powered supply is reduced. The present invention also discloses another charging method for a sub-module based hybrid converter. The above objective can also be achieved by setting a half-controlled charging link of bypassing all full bridge sub-modules in the charging process.
