The new type of modular conversion device has been gradually applied in high voltage and power situation.The fundamental concept of the modular multilevel converter(MMC) was described. Through the analysis of the topological structure and working mechanism of MMC, the MMC mathematical model based on switch function was built. On the basis, through carrier phase opposition disposition pulse width modulation(POD-PWM) and capacitor voltage balancing control based on sequencing method, the capacitor voltage of each submodular of the convertor was detected in real time and sequenced. Based on upper and lower bridge current direction of each phase, the operation of charging and discharging or bypass operation to submodulars was carried on to control the capacitor voltage balance. The simulation model was built under Matlab-Simulink circumstance. The simulation results show that the control strategy is practical and valid, realizing the expected goal of regular operation of the converter and the stability of capacitor voltage.
