Disclosed is a device for controlling a terminal connected in a multi-terminal high-voltage direct current transmission facility, the terminal being able to provide or draw power on the DC part of the facility comprised between an upper power limit and a lower power limit, the device further comprising at least one regulation circuit configured to vary the power provided or drawn by the terminal on the DC part of the facility, as a function of a voltage variation on the DC part of the facility, the device further comprising a limitation circuit configured to limit the variation of the power provided or drawn by the terminal, for a given voltage variation, when the power difference between the power provided or drawn by said terminal and the upper power limit or the lower power limit becomes smaller than a determined value.

Device for controlling a terminal for the compensation of a voltage disturbance

The invention relates to a multi-level modular converter provided with a control circuit comprising a computer to calculate an internal control setpoint of the converter and an energy management circuit allowing a power setpoint to be determined that is to be transmitted to the alternating electrical power supply network, the control circuit being configured to regulate the voltage at the point of connection of the converter to the direct electrical power supply network and to regulate the voltage at the terminals of each capacitor modelled as a function of the internal control setpoint and of the power setpoint to be transmitted to the alternating electrical power supply network.

Converter provided with a circuit for managing alternating power in an alternating part

The invention relates to a modular multilevel converter () including a control module () for regulating the internal energy stored in the capacitors of the submodules of an arm of the converter, the control module being suitable for limiting the internal energy to below an upper limit and/or to above a lower limit, by using parameters measured on the DC power supply network () and on the AC power supply network () together with setpoints for the operating power of the converter.

Module for controlling the internal energy of a converter

The invention relates to a modular multilevel converter () having a control module () and a computer () for computing a setpoint for the internal energy of the converter stored in the capacitors of the submodules of the arms. The control module is configured to deduce, from the setpoint for the internal energy of the converter, a setpoint for the voltage across the terminals of each modeled capacitor, which setpoint is used for regulating the voltage across the points of common coupling between the converter and the DC power supply network and the voltage across the terminals of each modeled capacitor.
