Abstract
Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is a promising technology for connecting to the grid distant offshore applications. This paper presents the considerations, the procedure and the challenges of the MMC´s basic building block construction. The prototype is thoroughly tested and its results are discussed in this paper. The evaluation of the results is confirmed through the simulation of a single phase MMC.
