Abstract
A method for controlling a converter station in a power transmission network. The method includes: initially controlling, by a controller, the power converter to transfer power between the AC network and the transmission network via the first branch and the second branch; detecting, by the controller, a fault in the second branch; in response to detecting the fault in the second branch: issuing, by the controller, a first command to reduce an AC side voltage of the power converter; issuing, by the controller, a second command to open the first switch, the third switch, and the fourth switch; in response to the fourth switch opening: issuing, by the controller, a third command to close the first switch; and issuing, by the controller, a fourth command to restore an AC side voltage of the power converter to an AC reference value.
