Abstract: The present invention discloses a high-power machine drive system based on a modular multilevel converter (MMC), which belongs to the technical field of power generation, power transformation, or power distribution. The high-power machine drive system consists of a modular multilevel converter and a multi-pulse cycloconverter. The MMC outputs k phases of high-frequency AC voltages with a phase difference of 2π/k, and the multi-pulse cycloconverter outputs a low-frequency voltage to drive a corresponding machine. According to the present invention, the MMC is combined with the multi-pulse cycloconverter, and by adopting the MMC that operates at a high frequency, the capacity, the volume, and the weight of the energy storage capacitor of the MMC are reduced, the voltage level at the DC side of the MMC is increased, and the capacity of the drive system is increased. By adopting the multi-pulse cycloconverter, quality of an output waveform at a machine side can be guaranteed, thereby implementing low frequency control on the machine. The present invention may be adapted to drive a high-power low-speed machine.
