Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022128101A1] The invention relates to a modular multilevel converter (1) having a plurality of modules (1_1 ... 6_n). The multilevel converter includes a plurality of support devices (401 ... 406), each of which supports a subset of the modules (1_1 ... 6_n). The modules of the subset are electrically connected to form one or more series circuits. A local control device (411 ... 416) which is connected, via a single communication link (421, 422, 423), to all of the modules supported by one support device, is assigned to each support device (401 ... 406).
