Abstract: Nowadays, the most advanced solution to connect offshore wind farms to the mainland grid is the use of High Voltage DC converters. Among the variety of High Voltage DC technologies available, the Modular Multi-Level Converter stands out. It is totally different to the traditional two or three level Voltage Source Converters, and it uses a voltage source control scheme presenting advantages such as a better harmonic content, but also some disadvantages such as a more complex control system.
