I. INTRODUCTION
In the last decade, the electrical power quality issue has been the main concern of the power companies. Power
quality is defined as the index which both the delivery and consumption of electric power affect on the
performance of electrical apparatus.

C. Applying the transformer to MMC:
In this paper, we applying the voltage and current equations of the transformer to MMC model of the equivalent

The parameters of the MMC as shown in the table 1, The AC grids of the prototype converter are connected to the
DC lines. The experimentation of the normal transformer, its iron core of saturation magnetic density is 1.85[T] at
116% (233V, 50Hz) of rated voltage. The magnetic density of iron core is 1.59[T] and rated voltage is (200V,
50Hz).
IV. DIRECTION POWER FLOW IS AC TO DC AND DC TO AC CONVERSION
The experimental results of figure 5 shows in grid connected operation. In all results, capacitor voltages of each
cell and sinusoidal waveforms of ac line current are obtained and balanced with each other. This is AC to DC
conversion is obtained by varying the duty cycle in the control circuit. Duty cycle< 0.5 is varied in control circuit.
VIII. CONCLUSION
The paper is successfully implemented using MATLAB/ simulink software. In these control technique 24 cells
have been implemented by using this technique we can reduce the cost of the transformer and can improve the
output efficiency. This paper introduces a new type of Modular Multilevel Converter applying a three -winding
transformer. The topology can merge buffer reactors into a grid connected transformer. In future study the DC
bias magnetism of the buffer reactor into a grid connected transformer and the MMC with three winding
transformer does not require a special transformer.
