N2 - Several modulation methods with balancing capability have been proposed to control Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC). Due to the complexity of the system it is difficult to decide which modulator ensures better performance. In this paper, the performance of the carrier and carrier-less modulation techniques are discussed separately from their balancing capability. By using different simulation models the key performance parameters, such as: number of switching, circulating current, balancing, are compared for Nearest Level Control (NLC), Phase Shifted Carrier (PSC) and Level Shifted Carrier (LSC) methods. Both cases are discussed when low and when high number of submodules are employed in the MMC.
