Claims
- 1. High voltage direct current transmission system comprising a rectifier station and an inverter station connected together by a DC line, the rectifier station comprising uncontrolled valves and means for controlling the alternating voltage connected to the valves, said means for controlling comprising first and second control circuits for controlling said alternating voltage, said first control circuit being controlled in dependence on the DC line voltage, and said second control circuit being controlled in dependence on the DC line current, said second control circuit being responsive to a predetermined current reference value and further including means for adjusting said current reference value in accordance with said DC line voltage so that said current reference valve is reduced with decreasing line voltage, and a circuit for selecting said first control circuit during normal operation of said rectifier station and said inverter station and for selecting said second control circuit upon detection of an over-current condition in said rectifier station.
- 2. A high voltage direct current transmission system wherein a rectifier station and an inverter station are interconnected by a DC line, said rectifier station comprising:
- a plurality of uncontrolled valves and means for controlling the alternating voltage connected to said uncontrolled valves, said uncontrolled valves being interconnected in two six-pulse groups mutually offset in phase to a 12-pulse connection;
- first and second control circuits for controlling said alternating voltage;
- said first control circuit being controlled in dependence on said DC line voltage;
- said second control circuit being controlled in dependence on said DC line current; and
- a circuit for selecting said first circuit during normal operation of said rectifier station and said inverter station, and for selecting said second control circuit upon detection of an over-current condition in said rectifier station, and whereby the commutating reactance of said 12-pulse connection is uncompensated such that said commutating reactance provides an additional means for controlling said alternating voltage.
- 3. A high voltage direct current transmission system as in claim 2 whereby said means for controlling the alternating voltage includes a generator directly connected to said twelve-pulse connection whereby the reactance of said generator forms part of said commutating reactance.
- 4. A high voltage direct current transmission system as in claim 2 wherein said means for controlling the alternating voltage includes a common transformer having a plurality of windings equal to said plurality of uncontrolled valves, the leakage reactance of said common transformer forming part of said commutating reactance.
- 5. A high voltage direct current transmission system as in claim 2 wherein said means for controlling the alternating voltage includes an AC reactor, the reactance of said AC reactor forming part of said commutating reactance.
