Abstract
A method for diagnosing a state of a submodule in initial charging of an MMC converter includes identifying, by an upper level controller, a stopped state of the MMC converter; supplying, by the upper level controller, an alternating current (AC) voltage from an AC side to N submodules in the MMC converter when the MMC converter is in the stopped state; charging a capacitor in the submodule with the supplied AC voltage to store an initial charging voltage in the capacitor; determining, by a submodule controller, whether the submodule is in a fault state and when the submodule is in a fault state, transmitting a fault signal to the upper level controller; and detecting, by a voltage detection unit of the submodule the initial charging voltage stored in the capacitor and transmitting the initial charging voltage to the submodule controller.
