Abstract

Modular multilevel converters (MMC) have recently received a lot of attention for their exceptional features. Three critical features of HVDC MMCs are power quality, converter cost, and system performance, all of which are closely linked to the converter modulation and switching schemes. The two modulation technique studied in this thesis are the Nearest Level Modulation and Level – Shifted type Alternate Opposition Phase Disposition Pulse Width modulation technique. On compairing the output of the two modulation technique we observe that , the percentage of total harmonics distortion present in Pulse width Modulation technique is 22% and that of another method i.e Nearest level modulation is 14.82 %.
