Abstract:
In the field of high voltage direct current power transmission and distribution there is provided a converter which includes first and second DC terminals for connection to a DC electrical network and between which extends converter limbs. Each converter limb includes first and second limb portions that are separated by an AC terminal for connection to a respective phase of a multi-phase AC electrical network. Each limb portion includes a current sensor to measure current flowing in the corresponding limb portion. The converter also includes further current sensors, located elsewhere in the converter, and a current sensor management unit. The current sensor management unit is programmed to: receive a measured current value from each current sensor; identify at least one faulty current sensor from the received measured current values; and replace the measured current value of the or each identified faulty current sensor with a calculated current value.

Claim (Index 1):
A converter, for use in HVDC power transmission and distribution, the converter comprising:\n first and second DC terminals for connection to a DC electrical network and between which extends a plurality of converter limbs, each converter limb including first and second limb portions separated by an AC terminal for connection to a respective phase of a multi-phase AC electrical network, and each limb portion including a current sensor to measure current flowing in the corresponding limb portion; a plurality of further current sensors located elsewhere in the converter; and a current sensor management unit programmed to: (a) receive a measured current value from each current sensor; (b) identify at least one faulty current sensor from the received measured current values; and (c) replace the measured current value of the or each identified faulty current sensor with a calculated current value.
