Abstract
A multi-terminal power transmission network includes first and second DC terminals that are interconnected by a first transmission conduit to permit the transfer of power. The first DC terminal is connected with an interconnection conduit and is separately connected with a first power converter. The first power converter interconnects the first DC terminal with a first AC network element and includes a first converter controller. The second DC terminal is interconnected with a second AC network element by a second power converter which includes a second converter controller. The first power converter further includes a supplementary controller to selectively modify the first DC voltage reference that the first power converter is required to provide so as to drive the DC current flowing in the interconnection conduit below a predetermined threshold and facilitate disconnection of the interconnection conduit from the first DC terminal via opening of the first interconnector switch.
