Zusammenfassung:In the field of high voltage direct current power transmission networks, a method of controlling a converter that includes at least one converter limb which corresponds to a respective phase of the converter, is described. The method includes obtaining a respective AC current demand phase waveform for each converter limb which the corresponding converter limb is required to track, and a DC current demand which each converter limb is also required to track. The method further determining a limb portion current for each limb portion that the limb portion must contribute to track the corresponding required AC current demand phase waveform and the required DC current demand, and providing a limb portion voltage source for each limb portion to achieve the corresponding limb portion current. The method carrying out mathematical optimization to determine one or more optimal limb portion currents and/or provide optimal limb portion voltage sources.
