Abstract
In this paper an analysis of a power converter based on a modular multilevel topology is discussed. A mathematical model of the MMC is developed in order to evaluate its dynamic behavior and to better understand the incidence of the circulating current phenomenon which could compromise converter performance in variable speed drive applications. In fact, if such problem is not properly addressed reliability problems arise.
