Abstract
A method regulates a power converter arrangement that has at least one power converter arm with a series circuit of two-pole switching modules. Each of the switching modules contains a plurality of semiconductor switches and an energy store. At least some of the switching modules are switching modules of a first type and at least some further switching modules are switching modules of a second type. In the method, a voltage setpoint value of a power converter regulator is apportioned into a first and a second setpoint value portion. The switching modules of the first type are driven on the basis of the first setpoint value portion and the switching modules of the second type on the basis of the second setpoint value portion.
