    Abstract: A method of controlling a high voltage direct current, HVDC, converter station is provided, wherein the converter station includes a first voltage source converter (VSC) associated with a first power controller and a second VSC associated with a second power controller. The first VSC and the second VSC are connected in series between a first DC terminal and a second DC terminal of the converter station. According to an embodiment, the method comprises determining a common DC voltage reference based on either one of a first DC voltage measured across the first VSC and a second DC voltage measured across the second VSC. The method further includes determining a first reference DC voltage for the first VSC based on the determined common DC voltage reference and a first DC voltage contribution from the first power controller and determining a second reference DC voltage for the second VSC based on the determined common DC voltage reference and a second DC voltage contribution from the second power controller. Operation of the first VSC and the second VSC may then be controlled at least partly based on the first reference DC voltage and the second reference DC voltage, respectively.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for controlling a direct current, DC, current in a voltage source converter (VSC) station, wherein the VSC station includes at least on modular multi-level converter (MMC), including for example a full-bridge MMC (FB-MMC) submodule. The method includes determining a DC current reference (212), and determining, using a DC current controller (200), a DC voltage correction (222) based on the DC current reference (212). The method also includes generating a DC voltage reference based on a sum of the DC voltage correction (222) and at least one of an actual DC voltage and an ordered DC voltage. The method includes switching the at least one MMC based on the DC voltage reference.The method includes determining whether a DC fault has occurred in the power transmission system, and controlling, on a basis that it is determined that the DC fault has occurred, a DC fault current to zero or close to zero by said switching. The present disclosure also provides a VSC station (700) including a controller (740) for performing the method, and a high-voltage power transmission system (800) including at least one such VSC station (810).
