such system shown Figure 4-5.
A key challenge hybrid AC-DC systems the
impact the interlink power electronic converter,
whose switching behaviour introduces harmonic
currents into the network. One option for addressing
these harmonic challenges the modular multilevel
converter.

power system will consist mix grids and
DC grids, with power electronic converters serving
as the interface between them. The dynamic
nature the grid, where impedance profiles
continuously evolve different assets are
integrated disconnected, can exacerbate these
harmonic disturbances, potentially triggering
resonance and compromising system stability and
safety [43].36
MVDC technologies and operational considerations
SSTs come several topologies, broadly
categorized single isolation, modular isolation,
and multiport isolation. Many SSTs
can operate AC-AC, AC-DC, DC-AC DC-DC
converters. Each design involves trade-
offs cost, efficiency, complexity and harmonics
or electromagnetic emissions [42]. SSTs are increasingly seen essential
for future MVDC power systems, especially for
integrating renewable energy, powering data
centre, and supporting high-power charging. While extensive research has focused
on mitigating AC-side harmonics, comparatively
less attention has been given control strategies
specifically designed for suppressing DC-side
current harmonics.5 Harmonic filtering
