Abstract:
A full-bridge sub-module addressing the needs of the HVDC and STATCOM markets is presented. The sub-module is the smallest repeating unit and the main building block of the HVDC and STATCOM MMC converters. Particular emphasis is put on the design considerations behind this sub-module and also the type of tests that were completed to validate design choices. With the addition of this full-bridge sub-module to the existing product portfolio, GE’s Grid Solutions is now able to offer to our customers a full spectrum of technical solutions that addresses all their specific requirements.
