Abstract

A power electronic converter(30)is for use in high voltage direct current power transmission and reactive power compensation, the power electronic converter (30) including three phase elements (32) defining a star connection (36) and a converter unit (34) including first and second DC terminals (50,52) for connection in use to a DC network (56) and three AC terminals (54), the converter unit (34) including a plurality of switching elements (70,74) controllable in use to facilitate power conversion between the AC and DC networks (44,56), the power electronic converter (30) further including a third DC terminal(78) connected between the first and second DC terminals (50,52), the third DC terminal (78) being connected to a common junction (40) of the star connection (36) to define an auxiliary connection (82), the auxiliary connection (82)including at least one dump resistor (84); connected between the common junction (40) and the third DC terminal (78), wherein the switching elements (70,74) of the converter unit (34) are controllable in use to modify a phase voltage at each AC terminal (54) to include a triplen harmonic voltage component so as to dissipate real power in the or each dump resistor (84) at a triplen harmonic frequency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a power electronic converter used for high voltage direct current power transmission and reactive power compensation. Background technique [0002] In power transmission networks, alternating current (AC) power is usually converted to direct current (DC) power for transmission via overhead lines and / or submarine cables. This transformation eliminates the need to compensate for the effects of AC capacitive loading introduced by the transmission line or cable, thereby reducing the cost per kilometer of the line and / or cable. Therefore, AC to DC conversion can be cost effective when power needs to be transmitted over long distances. [0003] AC to DC power conversion is also used in power transmission networks that need to interconnect AC networks operating at different frequencies. [0004] In any such power transmission network, each interface between AC and DC power requires a converter 10 to achieve the required conversion, ...
