For a DC grid using modular multi‐level converters (MMCs) fast control of the DC bus is an important requirement. A control design is presented where a sudden DC voltage drop is compensated without any influence on the AC side. Using a suitable pattern in the MMC internal circular currents, the DC current can be adjusted and the MMC can be brought to a new steady state with symmetrised arm energies within few milliseconds.
