Title: Comparative analysis based on the switching frequency of modulation techniques for MMC applications
Abstract: The Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is a consolidated attractive technology taking great importance in medium / high power applications compared to other topologies of multilevel converters. One of the main lines of research is on voltage modulation techniques and its influence on the converter performance. Specifically for a relatively high number of submodules (SMs) that may depend on the specific application type. In this paper, a brief overview of the MMC basic operation is presented and the modulation techniques based on switching frequency as the main parameter are studied. Also, three different modulation techniques are studied to later be performed in Matlab/Simulink, in simulation is considering two cases of MMC systems with 5 and 20 SMs/arm, in order to comparing the impact of modulation technique on MMC performance.
