    摘要: The present invention relates to a first-cycle charging device and method of a modular multi-level converter, in which, in order to prevent the overcharging of a capacitor in a submodule in a HVDC system, charging and discharging of the capacitor in the submodule are independently carried out, and charging of the submodule in the HVDC system is enabled to be gradually carried out so as to prevent sudden flow of an instantaneous current. The first-cycle charging device of the modular multi-level converter of the present invention comprises: a submodule provided with a capacitor so as to carry out alternating current power charging and discharging; and a submodule control unit for controlling the charging, discharging, and bypassing of the submodule.
