The capacitor voltage can be decreased by injecting a specific dc signal into the original control system. However, the problem lies in obtaining the optimal dc signal that can both minimise the capacitance requirement and ensure the safe operation of MMCs.
The voltage drop that can be calculated from the above Equation is the basis for the application of the capacitors. After using capacitors, the system increases the voltage due to improving the power factor and reducing the effective line current. Therefore, the voltage due to and IXL is reduced.
Firstly, it can be seen that the capacitor voltage can be effectively reduced by the proposed CRR method. The rated capacitor voltage is Udc / N = 320 kV/200 = 1600 V. In Figures 13 and 14, the maximum capacitor voltages exceed the rated value by 98 and 161 V, respectively.
