With the development of high-speed and high-power electrified railway, power quality of traction power grid becomes more serious. In order to achieve three-phase balance of traction power grid, a modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based railway traction power conditioner (RTPC) is studied, which is characterized by modular multilevel cascaded structure. The RTPC consists of four H-Bridge links and output filter inductors, which can be connected to 27.5-kV traction feeders in co-phase supply system directly. This conditioner can be used for different kinds of traction system, especially suited to Scott traction system. According to the analysis of equivalent electrical model and power balance of RTPC, a hierarchical control strategy is put forward aiming to balance the submodule capacitor voltages, which ensures the safety and stability of system. Finally, the structure and its control strategy are verified by the simulation and experiment effectively.
