Abstract
A circuit for a hybrid voltage source converter suitable for high voltage DC power transmission and reactive power compensation. The circuit comprises an assembly of electrically interconnected elements (Elementsto) including a plurality of first elements (Elementsto) and a plurality of second elements (Elementsto). Each of the first and second elements is configurable to be bypassed, to be disconnected or to include a circuit arrangement of one or more electronic components to construct, in use, a hybrid voltage source converter including at least one first element and at least one second element and in which the circuit arrangement included in the or each first element is different to the circuit arrangement included in the or each second element.
