Power losses in voltage sourced converter (VSC) valves for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems - Part 2: Modular multilevel converters

IEC 62751-2:2014 gives the detailed method to be adopted for calculating the power losses in the valves for an HVDC system based on the "modular multi-level converter", where each valve in the converter consists of a number of self-contained, two-terminal controllable voltage sources connected in series. It is applicable both for the cases where each modular cell uses only a single turn-off semiconductor device in each switch position, and the case where each switch position consists of a number of turn-off semiconductor devices in series (topology also referred to as "cascaded two-level converter"). The main formulae are given for the two-level "half-bridge" configuration but guidance is also given as to how to extend the results to certain other types of MMC building block configuration.

Pertes de puissance dans les valves à convertisseur de source de tension (VSC) des systèmes en courant continu à haute tension (CCHT) - Partie 2: Convertisseurs multiniveaux modulaires

L'IEC 62571-2:2014 donne la méthode détaillée à adopter pour calculer les pertes de puissance dans les valves d'un système CCHT doté d'un "convertisseur multiniveaux modulaire" dont chaque valve est composée d'un certain nombre de sources de tension indépendantes commandables à deux bornes connectées en série. Elle s'applique lorsque chaque cellule modulaire n'utilise qu'un seul dispositif à semi-conducteur blocable dans chaque position de commutation, et lorsque chaque position de commutation est composée d'un certain nombre de dispositifs à semi-conducteur blocables en série (cette topologie étant également appelée "convertisseur à deux niveaux monté en cascade"). Les principales formules sont données pour la configuration "en demi-pont" à deux niveaux. Des lignes directrices sont également données pour indiquer l'étendue des résultats de certains autres types de configurations de bloc module MMC.

Ugotavljanje izgub moči v napetostnih pretvorniških ventilih za visokonapetostne enosmerne sisteme - 2. del: Modularni večnivojski pretvorniki (IEC 62751-2:2014)

Ta del standarda IEC 62751 podaja podrobno metodo, ki naj bi se sprejela za izračun izgub moči v ventilih za sistem HVDC na osnovi »modularnega večnivojskega pretvornika«, pri katerem je vsak ventil v pretvorniku sestavljen iz številnih zaporedno vezanih samostojnih, krmiljenih napetostnih virov z dvema priključkoma. Uporablja se v primerih, kjer je posamezna modularna celica uporablja samo eno izklopno polprevodniško napravo pri vsakem stikalnem položaju, in v primerih, kjer posamezni stikalni položaj vsebuje več zaporedno vezanih izklopnih polprevodniških naprav (topologija: imenovan tudi »kaskadni dvonivojski pretvornik«). Glavne formule so podane za dvonivojsko »pol mostično« konfiguracijo, vendar so v dodatku A podane tudi smernice, kako rezultate razširiti na določene druge vrste konfiguracije gradnikov MMC. Standard je zapisan zlasti za bipolarne tranzistorje z izoliranimi vrati (IGBT), vendar se lahko uporablja tudi za navodila v primeru, da se uporabljajo druge vrste izklopnih polprevodniškh naprav.
Izgube moči v drugih elementih opreme v napravi HVDC, razen pretvorniških ventilov, so izključene iz področja uporabe tega standarda. Ta standard se ne uporablja za pretvorniške ventile za sisteme HVDC s pretvorniki z linijsko komutacijo.
