Abstract :
An exhaustive study on the circulating currents and their consequences in modular multilevel converters for HVDC applications is presented. The first part is a review of an analytical study of the converter, aimed to minimize the capacitors voltage ripple. In the second part the effects on the system efficiency are presented.
