description The connection mode of the flexible DC distribution network and the AC network is not only the basis of the system design but also is one of the key technologies in the DC distribution. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of the transformerless system using modular multilevel converters (MMC) in the power distribution system. Here, in allusion to the DC power distribution network without transformer, the influence of AC system fault on DC system and the influence of DC system fault on AC system are analysed in detail separately. By establishing the simulation model with the PSCAD/EMTDC software, the transformerless system proposed is verified feasible at the appropriate voltage and the appropriate earthing way of AC system. The research proposed a solution of saving economic cost and space which is the critical issue in the conventional DC power distribution system with the transformer.
