Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019101305A1] The invention relates to a converter station (1) having two line-commutated converters (4, 5), and to a method for operating the converter station (1). The two converters (4, 5) are electrically connected in an anti-parallel circuit at the same voltage polarity of a bipolar high-voltage direct current transmission line (30). One of the converters (4, 5) is operated as a rectifier in an AC network (27) and the other converter (4) is operated as an inverter in the AC network (27). A station reactive power (Q1) exchanged between the converter station (1) and the AC network (27) is controlled by an active power specification for converter active powers (P1) that is identical for both converters (4, 5), each of these converter active powers being exchanged between the converters (4, 5) and the AC network (27).
