Abstract:
A modular multilevel converter has a plurality of sub-modules, each of which includes at least two electronic switching elements and an electrical energy storage device. The sub-modules are controlled by a control device. An optical output of the control device of the converter is connected to an input of an optical distributor by way of a first optical waveguide. A plurality of outputs of the optical distributor are individually connected to an optical input of one of the sub-modules, respectively, by way of a second optical waveguide.

Claim (Index 30):
The method according to  claim 28 , which comprises:\n providing the control device with a multiplicity of optical inputs, and transmitting optical response signals from an optical output of each of the sub modules to one of the optical inputs of the control device by way of a third optical fiber; or providing an optical collector with a multiplicity of optical inputs, and transmitting optical response signals from an optical output of each of the sub modules to one of the optical inputs of the optical collector by way of a third optical fiber, and transmitting the optical response signals from an optical output ( 515 ) of the optical collector to an optical input of the control device by way of a fourth optical fiber.
