Abstract
This paper proposes a new type of Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) applying a three winding transformer. In general, MMC requires a buffer reactor in each arm, which increases number of components and converter footprint. The proposed MMC with three winding transformer does not require the buffer reactors. We describe mathematical properties of the proposed MMC. We also confirmed it operated as same as typical MMC (with reactor topology) by experimentation using a prototype 10kVA converters.
