    • This application relates to methods and apparatus for controlling a fault blocking voltage source converter (VSC) apparatus, e.g. a fault blocking VSC (200, 300) with one or one more full bridge cells (204) or a combination of VSCs (1201, 1202) with fault blocking capability. In the event of a DC side interruption, such as a DC side fault, the method involves operating (403, 404) the voltage source converter apparatus after identification (401) of the need for the DC side interruption to extract at least some electrical energy from the connected DC system to the VSC. At least some of the energy extracted from the DC system may be transferred to AC system. Once sufficient energy is extracted from the DC system the VSC may be isolated from the DC system and the voltage source converter apparatus may be switched (406) to a blocked state. Thus rather than instantly switch a fault blocking VSC to the blocked state on detection of a DC side fault the VSC is continued to be operated, and in a manner to transfer at least some energy stored in the DC system to the AC system before blocking.
    • 本申请涉及用于控制故障阻塞电压源转换器(VSC)装置的方法和装置,例如, 具有一个或多个全桥单元(204)的故障阻塞VSC(200,300)或具有故障阻断能力的VSC(1201,1202)的组合。 在诸如DC侧故障的DC侧中断的情况下,该方法包括在需要DC侧中断的识别(401)之后操作(403,404)电压源转换器装置以提取至少一些电能 从连接的直流系统到VSC。 从DC系统提取的至少一些能量可以被传送到AC系统。 一旦从DC系统提取足够的能量,VSC可以与DC系统隔离,并且电压源转换器装置可以被切换(406)到阻塞状态。 因此,在检测到直流侧故障时,不是立即将故障阻塞VSC切换到阻塞状态,所以VSC继续被操作,并且以在阻塞之前将存储在DC系统中的至少一些能量传送到AC系统的方式。

    • In the field of line commutated converters, for use in high voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission, a line commutated converter (10) comprises a plurality of converter limbs (12A, 12B, 12C) that extend between first and second DC terminals (16, 18). Each converter limb (12A, 12B, 12C) includes first and second limb portions (22, 24) which are separated by an AC terminal (26A, 26B, 26C). The first limb portions (22) together define a first limb portion group (28) and the second limb portions (24) together define a second limb portion group (30). Each limb portion (22, 24) includes at least one switching element (36, 36 2, 36 3, 36 4, 36, 36 6 ) that is configured to turn on and conduct current when it is forward biased and it receives a turn on signal and to naturally turn off and no longer conduct current when it is reverse biased and the current flowing through it falls to zero. The converter (10) also includes a control unit (38) which is programmed to, in use, control successive switching of the switching elements (36, 36 2, 36 3, 36 4, 36, 36 6 ) whereby a first switching element (36 ) in the first limb portion group (28) and a second switching element (36 2 ) in the second limb portion group (30) and a different converter limb (12B, 12C) to the first switching element (36 ) connect two corresponding AC terminals (26A, 26C in series between the first and second DC terminals (16, 18). The control unit (38) is further programmed to send a third switching element (36 3 ) in the first limb portion group (28) a turn on signal whereby the third switching element (36 3 ) turns on and begins to conduct current while the current flowing through the first switching element (36 ) begins to fall to zero and the first switching element (36 ) prepares to naturally turn off, and to subsequently send a fourth switching element (36 4 ) in the second limb portion group (30) and a different converter limb (12A, 12C) to the third switching element (36 3 ) a turn on signal whereby the fourth switching element turns (36 4 ) on and begins to conduct current while the current flowing through the second switching element (36 2 ) begins to fall to zero and the second switching element (36 2 ) prepares to naturally turn off. The control unit (38) also checks for an abnormal current flow (56) associated with the first switching element (36 ) during a finite monitoring period (42', 42''; 62', 62'') to establish whether correct natural turn off of the first switching element (36 ) occurs.

    • This application describes methods and apparatus for controlling a voltage source converter (101 a) to energise a DC link (103). A voltage order generating module (300) generates a voltage order (V ORD ) for controlling the voltage source converter to generate a DC voltage on the DC link, the voltage order is based on a time varying voltage reference signal (Rv). An voltage reference module (301), which may include a ramp generator (306) generates the time varying voltage reference signal (R v ) such that the rate of change of the voltage reference signal changes over time. The rate of change of the voltage reference signal may decrease over time, to become more gradual as the nominal operating voltage is reached to avoid over-voltages.
