The Full-Bridge MMC (External DC Links) block implements a full-bridge modular multilevel converter with external DC links. The converter consists of multiple series-connected power modules. Each power module consists of one H-Bridge with external DC outputs. You can choose from three model types...
TheHalf-Bridge MMCblock implements a half-bridge modular multilevel converter. The converter consists of multiple series-connected power modules. Each power module consists of one half-bridge and one capacitor on the DC side. You can choose from four model types: ...
In electrical grids, shunt compensation is often used for reactive power and voltage control. This example models a shunt compensation device that is increasingly used in modern grids: the Modular-Multi-level (MMC) STATCOM. The MMC-STATCOM is built using the Full-Bridge MMC block to represent ...
For example, if you want to control a full-bridge MMC converter that contains 22 power modules (the equivalent of 22 full-bridges), set theBridge typeparameter toFull-bridgeand theNumber of bridgesparameter to22. If you want to control a half-bridge MMC converter that contains 22 power modu...
