Abstract

A modulation method for a direct current (DC) coupling converter with less DC voltage sensors includes: obtaining a voltage modulated wave vr* and a current reference value ig* of the DC coupling converter; performing determination on the voltage modulated wave vr* and the current reference value ig*, and determining a switch state of the DC coupling converter based on a result of the determination; and when a DC voltage sensor of an electrolytic capacitor of an intermediate power module is removed, modulating a DC voltage sensor based on the voltage modulated wave vr* and a difference between DC voltages on electrolytic capacitors of the other two power modules. When the intermediate DC-side voltage sensor is removed, DC voltages of various modules of a converter system of a DC coupling power unit can still be balanced, and quality of a grid-connected current is not affected by a fault.
