AB  - Modular Converters such as the MMC have become the  new  standard  in  VSC-HVDC  applications.  Their  modularity has brought  many  industrial  advantages  but  also  increased  the complexity of their operation. This paper looks at how a range of techniques  may  alter  the  balance  of  power  losses  between  the IGBT modules. These techniques are based on circulating currents at the (i) fundamental frequency and (ii) second harmonic and (iii) DC  voltage  offset  on  the  converter  voltage  waveform.  Finally,  conclusions on the effectiveness and potential drawbacks of these techniques are discussed.
