A method of controlling output levels of an MMC converter to reduce fluctuation in a power grid frequency, which adjusts an output level of the MMC converter in response to a change in a power grid frequency of a power grid system in the MMC converter connected to a grid system, is proposed. The method includes a detection step of detecting a power grid frequency of a grid connected to the MMC converter in real time, a comparison step of comparing the detected power grid frequency with a preset reference power grid frequency, and an adjustment step of adjusting a number of output levels of the MMC converter to reduce a difference between the detected power grid frequency and the reference power grid frequency when the detected power grid frequency and the reference power grid frequency are different from each other.
