Abstract
The present disclosure provides a positive and negative bipolar modular multilevel alternating current (AC)-AC frequency converter, including a modular multilevel frequency converter and a three-phase three-winding bipolar transformer. The modular multilevel frequency converter has an ABC three-phase structure, each phase includes the same upper bridge arm and lower bridge arm, and the upper and lower bridge arms include n full-bridge sub-modules (FBSMs) and a bridge arm inductor connected in series. The positive and negative bipolar modular multilevel AC-AC frequency converter can be further expanded and enable bidirectional energy flow. In the present disclosure, by introducing a positive and negative bipolar three-winding transformer, an AC-AC frequency converter topology with simple structure, high efficiency, flexibility and reliability is realized, which has high practical value.
