Abstract :
A three-phase converter configuration, with each phase consisting of a series chain of H-bridges has become a popular multilevel solution for STATCOM application. Such a configuration, however, is not suitable for HVDC transmission. A new concept, where the series chain of H-bridge cells is used to derive a multilevel voltage reinjection waveform, is described in a companion paper. Its application to HVDC transmission is discussed in this paper and extensive use is made of EMTDC simulation to verify its steady-state and dynamic behavior.
