        abstract = {This paper focuses on the design and analysis of different levels of Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) topology for reducing Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) losses, through the use of the Nearest Level Modulation (NLM) control technique, especially when dealing with larger number of submodules. Furthermore, the MMC has been designed for greater scalability with high voltage and power capacity. By implementing the NLM approach, it was demonstrated in this study that MMC offers simplicity and strong controllability in the decrease of THD up to 13 levels. In this work, the reduction of THD by increasing the voltage levels in MMC is comprehensively analyzed. The MATLAB/Simulink simulation results are used to examine the performance of the nearest level control strategy in reducing total harmonic distortion of MMC for its HVDC applications.},
