Abstract:
A reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit and a control unit thereof are provided, the reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit is mainly formed by an MMC sub-module unit and a reconfigurable mechanism, wherein the reconfigurable mechanism is formed by switches, and the conversion of MMC sub-module unit topology is achieved through switching on and off the switches in the reconfigurable mechanism. According to the reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit and the control unit thereof, the rapid change of a topology structure for a converter can be achieved, which is suitable for the demand of the line connection of the medium-voltage power distribution network and variable topologies, and meets requirements of dynamic simulation experiment for different converter topologies in the dynamic simulation experiment, thereby reducing construction costs and duration, improving experiment efficiency, and having high flexibility and strong versatility.

Claim (Index 8):
A reconfigurable converter formed by the reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit according to  claim 1 , characterized in that: the reconfigurable converter comprises several reconfigurable MMC sub-module units, a first end of the reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit is defined as a leading-out end from a midpoint of a bridge arm of the first power semiconductor element and the second power semiconductor element of the reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit, and a second end of the reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit is defined as a leading-out end from a joint of the bypass switch, the first change-over switch and the second change-over switch of the reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit, the several reconfigurable MMC sub-module units are formed into a MMC converter by cascading the first end of a reconfigurable MMC sub-module unit and the second end of an adjacent MMC sub-module unit sequentially in the same direction; by controlling the change-over switches of the reconfigurable sub-module units in the converter, a half-bridge MMC converter, a full-bridge MMC converter, a quasi-full-bridge MMC converter, or a half-bridge and full-bridge hybrid MMC converter is formed.
