• Tr and Ti are the off nominal tap ratios on the rectifier and inverter side
converter transformers.
Principle of DC link control
• Where Evr is the line to line in the valve side windings of the rectifier
And Evi is the line to line in the valve side windings of the inverter.
• Er and Ei are the AC (line to line) voltages of the converter buses on
the rectifier and inverter side.

• Equivalent circuit
Principle of DC link control
• This is based on the assumption that all the series connected bridges in both poles of a
converter station are identical and have the same delay angles.
• Also the number of series connected bridges (nb ) in both stations (rectifier and inverter)
are the same.
• The voltage sources Edr and Edi are defined by
E = (3√2/π) n E cosα
• dr b vr r
• Substituting Evr in above equation we can obtain
E = A E / T cosα

5. The current during line faults are automatically limited with rectifier
station in current control.
• While there is a need to maintain a minimum extinction angle of the
inverter to avoid commutation failure, it is economical to operate the
inverter at constant extinction angle(CEA)
• Under normal condition, the rectifier operates at constant
current(CC) control and inverter at the CEA control.
• Under conditions of reduced AC voltages at the rectifier it is necessary
to shift the current control to the inverter to avoid run down of the
DC link when the rectifier control hits the minimum α limit.
