As modular multilevel converter (MMC) requires a large number of sensors to measure capacitor voltages, reducing the number of sensors for MMC has become an emerging topic. One of the technical challenges for reduced-voltage-sensor-based MMC operated with NLM is to eliminate the overvoltage that occurred on submodules.

This switching, if not specially controlled, is often by overvoltage transients that compromise the supply quality.

Capacitors may fail in an overvoltage condition, and the failure mode can be unpredictable. This makes relying on a capacitor to fail in order to protect other equipment a poor design practice. I've personally seen overvoltaged capacitors emit flames.
Over voltage in a capacitor occurs when the voltage applied to the capacitor exceeds its rated voltage. This can happen due to a power surge or other external factors. 2. What happens to a capacitor when it is over voltage? When a capacitor is over voltage, it can lead to the breakdown of the dielectric material and cause it to fail.
When the DC voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold, the overvoltage module and the low-voltage module are adjusted to the lower output limit, and the overvoltage current limit control strategy will quickly reduce the DC current command after detecting the rise of the LCC DC voltage, so as to maintain the stability of the system DC voltage.
To prevent over voltage in a capacitor, you can use a voltage regulator or other protective devices in the circuit. It is also important to use capacitors with the correct voltage rating and to avoid exposing them to voltage spikes or surges.
In most cases, an over voltage capacitor cannot be repaired and must be replaced. Attempting to repair it may result in further damage to the capacitor or the circuit it is a part of. 5. How can I prevent over voltage in a capacitor? To prevent over voltage in a capacitor, you can use a voltage regulator or other protective devices in the circuit.
Due to the rise of DC voltage on the inverter side, the DC current of the system will begin to decrease, and the LCC of the rectifier station will continue to reduce the trigger angle in order to maintain the current power, which will eventually lead to a further rise in DC voltage and a large voltage shock to the converter valve.
