Abstract:
A voltage source converter includes DC terminals for connection to a DC network, a plurality of converter limbs between the DC terminals, and a controller. Each converter limb includes first and second limb portions separated by a respective AC terminal, the AC terminal of each converter limb connecting to a multi-phase AC network. Each limb portion extends between a corresponding DC terminal and AC terminal. Each limb portion including a valve having switching element(s) and energy storage device(s), the switching element being switchable to selectively insert the energy storage device into the limb portion and bypass the energy storage device to control a voltage across that valve. The controller is programmed to control the switching of valves to form a current circulation path including the limb portions corresponding to the selected valves, the AC phases connected to the limb portions corresponding to the selected valves, and the DC network.

Claim (Index 10):
A voltage source converter according to  claim 1 , wherein each limb portion includes a director switch connected in series with the corresponding valve between the respective DC and AC terminals, and the director switches of the first and second limb portions are switchable to switch the respective limb portions into and out of circuit between the respective DC and AC terminals.
