Abstract :
A topology based on the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is presented, using two MMC linked by a medium frequency transformer. The back to back structure proves to have effective circuit breaker properties and reduced passive components. Due to the adopted modulation, variable high voltage elevation ratios can be achieved.
