[0047] The above method specifically includes the following steps:

[0048] S1. Establish a Circuit Topology Model

[0049] A current-controlled MMC grid-connected system is divided into two parts: a circuit topology and a control link, and relevant parameters are acquired. A circuit topology model is established as follows:

[00006]$\begin{array}{cc}\{\begin{array}{c}{\mathrm{Ri}}_g+L\frac{{\mathrm{di}}_g}{\mathrm{dt}}+2u_g=n_l{u}_{\mathrm{cl}}^{.Math.}-n_u{u}_{\mathrm{cu}}^{.Math.}\\ 2{\mathrm{Ri}}_c+2L\frac{{\mathrm{di}}_c}{\mathrm{dt}}+n_1{u}_{\mathrm{cl}}^{.Math.}+n_u{u}_{\mathrm{cu}}^{.Math.}=U_{\mathrm{dc}}\\ C_{\mathrm{arm}}\frac{{\mathrm{du}}_{\mathrm{cu}}^{.Math.}}{\mathrm{dt}}-n_u\left(i_c+\frac{i_g}{2}\right)\\ C_{\mathrm{arm}}\frac{{\mathrm{du}}_{\mathrm{cl}}^{.Math.}}{\mathrm{dt}}=n_l\left(i_c-\frac{i_g}{2}\right)\end{array}& \left(1\right)\end{array}$

[0051] S2. Establish a PLL Output Characteristic Model

[0052] According to an abc/dq transformation formula under a phase angle disturbance and a PLL control signal path, a relationship model between a PLL output phase angle small signal Δθ and a q-axis power grid voltage small signal of a power grid and a PLL controller G.sub.PLL is established as follows:

[00007]$\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{\Delta \theta }=\frac{G_{\mathrm{PLL}}\left(s\mp j{\omega }_1\right)}{s\mp j{\omega }_1+u_d{G}_{\mathrm{PLL}}\left(s\mp j{\omega }_1\right)}\Delta u_{\mathrm{qp}/n0}=H_{\mathrm{PLL}}\left(\mp j{\omega }_1\right)\Delta u_{\mathrm{qp}/n0}& \left(2\right)\end{array}$

[0054] ΔU.sub.g is an injected disturbance voltage amplitude, and ω.sub.p is an injected disturbance angular frequency. A PLL transfer function is defined as H.sub.PLL.

[0055] S3. Establish a PI Controller Output Control Small Signal Model Under a dq Axis

[0056] According to a current closed-loop control path, a relationship model between control small signals Δe.sub.d and Δe.sub.q under the dq axis and current small signals Δi.sub.d and Δi.sub.q under the dq axis, current steady-state operating points i.sub.d and i.sub.q under the dq axis, and the phase angle small signal Δθ and a current controller G.sub.i is established as follows:

[0057] S4. Deduce a Modulation Small Signal

[0058] According to the control small signals Δe.sub.d and Δe.sub.q and in consideration of a dq/abc transformation formula under a phase angle disturbance, modulation small signals of frequency f.sub.p output by a phase-a control system and frequency, f.sub.p∓2f.sub.1 generated under the action of PLL coupling are obtained as follows:

Δe.sub.refp/n=[Δe.sub.dp/n cos(θ∓Δθ)−Δ.sub.qp/n sin(θ+Δθ)]2/U.sub.dc  (6)

[0059] In formula (6), Δe.sub.refp/n is a modulation wave small signal disturbance output by phase current closed-loop control after the positive or negative sequence small disturbance voltage is injected into the MMC alternating current side separately, θ is a power grid voltage phase, it is now defined that θ=ωt and a power grid angular frequency ω=100πrad/s, and modulation small signals of frequencies f.sub.p and f.sub.p∓2f.sub.1 contained in an output phase-a of a control system are obtained by substituting specific expressions of each variable into the above formula:

[00009]$\begin{array}{cc}\Delta e_{\mathrm{refp}/n}=\left\{-\frac{1}{2}\left[u_q+i_q{G}_i\left(s\mp j{\omega }_1\right)\right]\left[\cos \left({\omega }_{p}t-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)+\cos \left(\left({\omega }_p\mp 2{\omega }_1\right)t-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)\right]-\frac{1}{2}\left[u_d+i_d{G}_i\left(s\mp j{\omega }_1\right)\right]\left[\cos \left({\omega }_p\mp 2{\omega }_1\right)t-\cos {\omega }_{p}t\right]\right\}2H_{\mathrm{PLL}}\left(s\mp j{\omega }_1\right)\Delta U_g/U_{\mathrm{dc}}& \left(7\right)\end{array}$

[0060] S5. Calculate MMC Port Impedance

[0061] A system model is substituted into a harmonic state space matrix, a current response Δi.sub.g when injecting a voltage disturbance Δu.sub.g is calculated, and MMC port impedance is finally calculated according to a port impedance definition:

[00010]$\begin{array}{cc}{Z}_{\mathrm{MMC}}\left({\omega }_p\right)=-\frac{\Delta U_g\left({\omega }_p\right)}{\Delta I_g\left({\omega }_p\right)}& \left(8\right)\end{array}$

[0062] In formula (8), ΔU.sub.g(ω.sub.p) is a complex vector form of a grid-connected voltage disturbance at ω.sub.p, and ΔI.sub.g(ω.sub.p) is a complex vector form of a grid-connected current disturbance at ω.sub.p.

[0063] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, positive and negative sequence impedances of an MMC are basically consistent under an ideal PLL, and a three-phase system is in a symmetrical state. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in consideration of an obvious difference between the positive and negative sequence impedances of the MMC under a PLL disturbance, it can be seen that the symmetry of the three-phase system is destroyed by introducing the PLL.

[0064] In conclusion, MMC theoretical impedance and simulated impedance curves match well, which verifies the correctness of impedance modeling. The present invention is particularly applicable to MMC grid-connected systems under current closed-loop control. Compared with existing methods, the proposed method not only establishes an accurate and effective PLL output characteristic model, but also establishes a high-precision MMC port impedance model.
