Abstract
A computer-implemented method of controlling a power converter in a power transmission network, including: measuring a first AC voltage and/or a first AC current at a point of connection, determining whether a fault condition is present in the AC network, setting a current limit for a second AC current output, by: if a fault condition is determined not to be present, setting the current limit to be equal to a first current limit value, and if a fault condition is determined to be present in the AC network, setting the current limit to be equal to a second current limit value, wherein the second current limit value is less than the first current limit value, and regulating, based on the current limit, a second AC voltage that is output from the AC side of the power converter, such that the second AC current does not exceed the current limit.
