A METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IN A HIGH-VOLTAGE POWER CONVERTER STATION AND A HIGH-VOLTAGE POWER CONVERTER STATION

A method for establishing a wireless communication system in a high-voltage power converter station is provided. The high-voltage power converter station includes a plurality of power devices. The wireless communication system includes a plurality of wireless communication devices, some of which are associated with a power device such that a power device and a wireless communication device together form a wireless power electronic module. The high-voltage power converter station further comprises at least one wireless networking device for providing a communication interface between the plurality of wireless communication devices and a controller configured to control the power devices. The controller determines at least one communication path providing a signal quality above a threshold based on indications of signal quality for a plurality of channels established either between a wireless networking device and a wireless power electronic module or between a wireless communication device and a wireless power electronic module.
