Title:
CONVERTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/108258
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A voltage source converter (30) comprises a converter limb (36), having primary and secondary limbs connected in parallel between first and second DC terminals (32,34), the primary limb element including first and second primary limb element portions (38,40) separated by a third terminal (42), being connectable to an AC electrical network (46), each primary limb element portion (38,40) including at least one primary switching element (50), the secondary limb including first and second secondary limb element portions (52,54) separated by a junction (56), and including a DC side chain-link converter (58), and a connection interconnecting the third terminal (42) and the junction (56) wherein the voltage source converter (30) further includes a control unit (62) controlling the switching of the respective switching elements.
