    Abstract: Embodiments of present disclosure relate to an apparatus and a method for controlling a delta-connected cascaded multilevel converter. The apparatus (100) for controlling a delta-connected cascaded multilevel converter (110) comprises: a converter controller (102) configured to: receive current signals indicating phase currents flowing through respective phase arms of the converter (110); determine a harmonic current signal indicating a circulating current of the converter (110) from the current signals; and generate, based on the determined harmonic current signal and a reference current signal, a harmonic voltage signal to cause an amplitude of the circulating current flowing through the phase arms of the converter (110) to be a predetermined amplitude.
