Abstract:
A converter includes first and second DC terminals for connection to a DC network, limb(s) connected between the first and second DC terminals, and a controller. Each limb includes a phase element and DC side sub-converter(s). The phase element has switching elements and AC terminal(s) for connection to an AC network, the switching elements being switchable to selectively interconnect a DC side voltage at a DC side of the phase element and an AC side voltage at an AC side of the phase element, The DC side sub-converter(s) connected to the DC side of the phase element. The controller selectively controls the switching elements and the operation of each DC side sub-converter as a voltage synthesiser. The controller also controls the switching elements to provide a blocking voltage to limit or block the flow of a fault current between the AC and DC networks and through each limb.

Claim (Index 19):
The converter according to  claim 16  wherein each of the first and second switching devices includes gate, collector and emitter terminals, the emitter terminal of a selected first switching device is connected to the emitter terminal of a selected second switching device, the controller includes an auxiliary switching control unit configured to send driving signals to the gate terminals of the selected first and second switching devices or includes two auxiliary switching control units configured to send respective driving signals to the respective gate terminals of the selected first and second switching devices, and a power supply circuit is connected across the emitter and collector terminals of the selected first or second switching device, the power supply circuit configured to supply power to drive the or each auxiliary switching control unit.
