Abstract

A reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit and a control unit thereof are provided, the reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit is mainly formed by an MMC sub-module unit and a reconfigurable mechanism, wherein the reconfigurable mechanism is formed by switches, and the conversion of MMC sub-module unit topology is achieved through switching on and off the switches in the reconfigurable mechanism. According to the reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit and the control unit thereof, the rapid change of a topology structure for a converter can be achieved, which is suitable for the demand of the line connection of the medium-voltage power distribution network and variable topologies, and meets requirements of dynamic simulation experiment for different converter topologies in the dynamic simulation experiment, thereby reducing construction costs and duration, improving experiment efficiency, and having high flexibility and strong versatility.
