Modular multilevel converters
The modular multilevel converter (MMC) system offers many advantages over conventional voltage source converters and in DC power transmission, micro grid or renewable energy applications. MMC’s distinctive topology provides a wide variety of new features, necessitating the use of a sophisticated controller for extra control requirements.

Solution
Our MMC hardware-in-the-loop solution
Our MMC solution includes a real-time simulator for the power grid network section. Connected to the real-time simulator, multiple I/O extension boxes specifically designed to interface with MMC controllers can be added depending on the number of cells required.
Our HIL MMC testing solution supports multiple functionalities
- Pole control and protection (PCP) functionality
- Valve base controller (VBC) functionality
- Communication Interface among controllers
- Coordination among controllers for different MMCs
- Evaluation of interactions between the MMC system and large-scale power systems.
