Abstract :
This paper describes the operation and control of Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC). The converter current controllers were designed with different bandwidth ranges. Different operating conditions for the controllers led to different responses and its impact was evaluated. Simulation results of a 5MW grid connected to the MMC illustrate the good dynamic and steady state responses.
