Disclosed is a method of controlling the power input to a HVDC transmission link, which HVDC transmission link is connected to an AC power plant via a first voltage source converter and to AC grid via a second voltage source converter, which method includes using the second voltage source converter to perform voltage control of the HVDC transmission link during a no-fault mode of operation of the grid; monitoring a HVDC transmission link parameter to detect an unbalanced fault; and using the first voltage source converter to regulate the output of the AC power plant on the basis of the monitored HVDC transmission link parameter in the event of an unbalanced fault. Also described are a control module for controlling the power input to a HVDC transmission link; a voltage source converter for a power plant; and a power generation and transmission arrangement.
