Abstract:
A dual submodule is created for a modular multilevel converter, whereby the dual submodule has two interconnected submodules, whereby each submodule has an asymmetrical half-bridge circuit with two parallel bridge branches, which are connected between a first and a second terminal connection of the submodule, whereby each bridge branch is formed from a series circuit of a power semiconductor switch, and a diode, whereby the power semiconductor switch is allocated to an antiparallel free-wheeling diode, and has a capacitor, which is connected in parallel with the asymmetrical half-bridge circuit between the first and the second terminal connections of the module. The submodules are connected to each other via their AC terminals to form the dual submodule. Further, a modular multilevel converter is created, comprising a number of such dual submodules in each of its converter branches.

Claim (Index 10):
A modular multilevel converter for converting an AC voltage into a DC voltage, or vice versa, the modular multilevel converter having at least one phase branch with an AC voltage connection and at least one DC voltage connection connected to the DC voltage intermediate circuit, whereby a converter branch is formed between each DC voltage connection and each AC voltage connection, wherein in each of the converter branches, at least one dual submodule is arranged as described in  claim 1 .
