This paper is written on the valve base control strategy specifically for high-voltage large-capacity modular multi-level converter(MMC) and on the sub-module capacitor voltage balance control strategy using tabu search optimization algorithm.In the context of high-voltage large-capacity VSC-HVDC transmission system,the paper analyzes MMC topology and related valve base control technique.The criteria for sub-module capacitor voltage balance algorithm are brought forward;the switching principle of sub-module pulse distribution is given in-depth study.Based on a distributed system structure,a novel sub-module voltage balance model using tabu search optimization algorithm is presented applicable to VSC-HVDC valve base control technique.In order to set up the objective function and constraints,establish the state decision optimization model,and formulate the optimization algorithm process,this model considers various factors,such as sub-module switchon/off,energy fluctuations,and key parameters quintuple information tree.Simulation test and off-line test were carried out on the dynamic simulation platform employing PSCAD/EMTDC software.The test results showed that this approach was as good as nearest level approximation in terms of functionality and performance reliability,thus providing theoretical support and engineering basis.
