Abstract

Disclosed are a control method and control system for a modular multilevel converter and a power transmission system. The control method includes calculating an actual capacitor voltage of the sub-module; calculating a reference capacitor voltage of the sub-module; dividing the plurality of sub-modules into a plurality of modules, reference capacitor voltages of the sub-modules in the same module are the same, and reference capacitor voltages of the sub-modules from different modules are different; sorting in the module to obtain a first voltage sequence; sorting among different modules to obtain a second voltage sequence; and determining the sub-modules to be switched on or switched off according to charging and discharging states of the sub-module, the first voltage sequence and the second voltage sequence, until an actual level of the bridge arm is consistent with a desired level, wherein the desired level changes using a first preset value as a step.
