摘要：

Control of the circulating current in the modular multilevel converter (MMC) is one of the major tasks for the proper operation of the converter topology. This paper develops a controller for the circulating current of the MMC that utilises the redundant voltage levels in 2N+1 modulated MMCs in order to regulate the current to its reference. The main advantages of the approach are the elimination of control loops that generate the voltages for the control of the circulating current, simple implementation and very fast dynamic performance. The application of the control is also independent of the circulating current reference. The simplicity and effectiveness of the proposed controller is illustrated through simulations and experimental results.
