Power control apparatus for sub-module of MMC converter
Provided is a power control apparatus for sub-modules in an MMC, which controls stable supply of power to sub-modules in MMC connected to an HVDC system and a STATCOM. The power control apparatus has at least one first resistor connected between P and N buses of MMC; a second resistor connected in series with the first resistor; a switch connected in series with the second resistor; a third resistor connected in parallel with the second resistor and the switch which are connected in series; a Zener diode connected in parallel with the third resistor; and a DC/DC converter connected between both ends of the Zener diode and configured to convert voltage across both ends of the Zener diode into low voltage, and supply the low voltage to the sub-modules, wherein a magnitude of current flowing through the Zener diode is controlled depending on ON/OFF switching of the switch.
