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 8):
The converter according to  claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to control the switching of the module switches of the or each module to selectively insert the or each corresponding energy storage device into the converter so as to absorb inductive energy stored in DC side inductance on the DC side of the or each phase element.
