MMC Full-Bridge Cell  

 

Description

This component models a multi-valve, full-bridge MMC with Thévenin equivalent circuits, which effectively increases the computational efficiency [42] [43].

 

The equivalent resistive circuit for a full-bridge cell has been derived as shown below:

 

 

With:

 

 

The RA and RB stand for the equivalent switching resistances of the two IGBT/Diode pairs [42]. And thus, the final equivalent circuit parameters for the half-bridges are given by:
