Abstract
The advancements of Multilevel Converter technology have brought the beginning of a new era in the FACTs industry and the Modular Multilevel Converter has received the attention of researchers in the last decade. The present Thesis focuses on the development of an advanced control system of a Modular Multilevel Converter aimed for a STATCOM application. The performance of the proposed control scheme under internal and external unbalances is evaluated via extensive simulations combined with experimental sessions. Finally, an enhanced control system is employed for the effective mitigation of current harmonics, with the STATCOM acting as an active filter.
