Abstract
A method for controlling a modular multi-level converter comprises the steps of: collecting control input variables from the converter; transmitting the control input variables to a controller of the converter via a first communication medium; determining, in the controller, and actual state of the converter and at least one control output variable based on a model of the converter; and transmitting the control output variable to the converter for controlling the converter via a second communication medium. The model of the converter accounts for the first and/or the second communication medium.
