Abstract

This paper introduces a novel multilevel Voltage Source Converter (VSC) for High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems, featuring an integrated Uninterruptible Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) to improve power quality and performance. Unlike traditional Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC), which are complex and costly, the proposed VSC uses series full-bridge submodules and an AC side unfolder to minimize component requirements and reduce switching losses. The advanced control strategy regulates active/reactive power and maintains capacitor voltage balance, enhancing stability and efficiency. Simulations confirm this design's superior performance, highlighting its potential as an efficient, resilient solution for modern HVDC applications.
