description The sequence impedance of modular multilevel converters (MMC) is the premise to analyze the stability of MMC-based high voltage direct current (HVDC) system. However, few papers have modeled MMC impedance with comprehensive consideration of different control modes and voltage feedforward, the high-frequency impedance characteristics of the MMC have not been intensively studied, either. In fact, the voltage feedforward has an important influence on the high-frequency impedance characteristics of the MMC, which can not be ignored. This article proposes a sequence impedance for MMC considering complete control loops. Not only current inner-loop, circulating current control loop and phase-locked loop (PLL) are considered, but also different control modes including power control, DC voltage control and AC voltage control are considered. It is worth mentioning that especially the voltage feedforward and time delay are taken into account. Based on this impedance model, the characteristics of the MMC are thoroughly analyzed, and the analysis shows that the voltage feedforward and time delay will greatly affect the high-frequency characteristics, which will deeply affect the stability of the system. Meanwhile, the influences of PLL dynamics, outer-loop control, circulating current control and parameters of controller on the sequence impedance are also analyzed in detail.
