MMC rectifier for offshore wind HVDC link
Hi everyone,
I am a third year BEng Energy Engineering student. I am looking at the design, modelling and peformance of an HVDC power converter for use in offshore wind for my final year dissertation. Power electronics is a new area for me and I am also new to simulink/ simscape elctrical.
Could anyone provide some useful examples of MMC (in particular rectifiers), or some advice for designing in simscape electrical. I am struggling with the design of PWM control especially. I aim to make a scaled down version of the MMC in Simulink but so far have had no luck. If anyone can help I would be really appreciative.
Thanks in advance.
Joe

Tiempo descendenteDear Joe, You can have a look at this example too: Basic DC/AC MMC control example It addresses simple control implementation and can be used for automated control code generation too. Hoping it helps,
Hi Joe,
You can start working with MMC model in this example:

We are currently working on a rectifier application of MMC in HVDC and I'll let you know when it's released. Please let s know if you have any other questions.
