Abstract:
This application relates to a voltage source converter, especially for use in High Voltage Direct Current power distribution/transmission, and to methods of control of such a voltage source converter. The voltage source converter has at least one phase limb having a high-side DC terminal, a low-side DC terminal and an AC terminal. In embodiments of the invention each phase limb comprises a voltage wave-shaper operable, in use, to provide a selectively variable voltage level. Each phase limb also has a switch arrangement operable to provide at least first and second switch states. In the first switch state the low-side DC terminal is electrically connected to the AC terminal via a first path that includes the voltage wave-shaper. In the second switch state the high-side DC terminal is electrically connected to the AC terminal via a second path that includes the voltage wave-shaper.

Claim (Index 3):
The voltage source converter of  claim 1 , wherein the voltage wave-shaper comprises a chain-link circuit comprising a series of cells, each cell comprising an energy storage element and a cell switch arrangement operable to selectively connect the energy storage element between terminals of the cell or connect the terminals of the cell so as to bypass the energy storage element.
