Popis: For DC grid based on the hybrid modular multilevel converter (MMC), the traditional DC fault current clearance scheme takes a long time and greatly affects the active power transmission. A novel DC fault current clearance coordinated control strategy is proposed, which can quickly interrupt the fault current and reduce the impact of DC fault on the DC grid and AC system. For fault-line connected MMC (FLMMC), a negative DC voltage control is employed, which can improve the current attenuation speed and ensure reliable fault isolation. For non-fault-line connected MMC (NFLMMC), the active current-limiting control (ACLC) based on the virtual reactor is adopted, which can reduce the current flow to the fault location and further shorten fault isolation time. To reduce the impact on the AC system during the DC fault, a short-time active power support control is designed. Finally, a four-terminal DC grid simulation model is built based on the RT-LAB OP5600 real-time digital simulation platform. The simulation results show that the proposed coordinated control strategy for the DC grid can quickly clear DC fault current, shorten DC fault isolation time, and strengthen active power support capability.
