The single-pole converter fault will unbalance the input and output power of the DC power grid, which causes the DC voltage or the bridge arm current of the non-fault pole to exceed the protection value in the time scale of tens to hundreds of milliseconds, leading to cascading failures. To realize the fault ride-through (FRT) of single-pole converter fault, this paper analyzes the electrical characteristic of the system. Based on the analysis, the existing topology is optimized and the reasonable operation reserved margin is designed. Furthermore, the corresponding control strategy is proposed, which can not only ensure the single-pole converter block fault ride-through but can also realize economic, stable, and resilient power supply and address asymmetrical problems. Finally, the simulation model is built in PSCAD\/EMTDC and the simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13101965","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,20]],"date-time":"2021-10-20T22:07:04Z","timestamp":1634767624000},"page":"1965","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Research on the New Topology and Coordinated Control Strategy of Renewable Power Generation Connected MMC-Based DC Power Grid Integration System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Shanshan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"China Electric Power Research Institute, Beijing 100192, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shanmeng","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Panbo","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuanyuan","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Electric Power Research Institute, Beijing 100192, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shengya","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chunyi","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuetong","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Tang, G.
