Abstract  This paper derives the analytical expressions of the modular multilevel converter (MMC) average switching frequency based on the inproved maximum sub-module voltage deviation,and analyzes the factors that affect the switching frequency.This paper can provide a theoretical guidance for the loss calculation and thermal design of MMC.The case studies are performed on a 46-level single-phase MMC under different operating conditions in Matlab/Simulink which proves the accuracy of this method.Meanwhile,a 9-level single-phase MMC laboratory prototype is built to verify the effectiveness of this method.
Key wordsModular multilevel converter      switching frequency      modified voltage balancing control      VSC-HVDC
