Abstract
A chain-link converter includes a number of series-connected chain-link modules. Each chain-link module has a module controller that is programmed to control operation of the corresponding chain-link module to selectively provide a voltage source, whereby the chain-link converter is able to provide a stepped variable voltage source. The chain-link converter also includes a chain-link converter controller that is arranged in communication with each module controller, and which is programmed to, in-use, communicate to a number of the module controllers a measured converter current (I) that is flowing through the chain-link converter. The module controllers that receive the measured converter current (I) is each further programmed, in-use, to combine the measured converter current (I) with a measured rate of change of current (I) flowing through the corresponding chain-link module, to establish an instantaneous module current (I) that is flowing through the corresponding chain-link module.
