Abstract
Abstract In order to place into operation a group of power converters which are connected in series as concerns the direct-current mode and in parallel as concerns the alternating-current mode, of a power or current converter operating in a rectifying mode of a high-voltage direct-current transmission installation, the control pulses of the group of power converters to be placed into operation are set at a range of approximately 100 to 115 electrical degrees. The bypass or shunt switch of such group of power converters subsequently receives an opening command. The control pulses, after accomplishment of opening of the bypass or shunt switch are shifted in accordance with a predetermined linear ramp function in the rectifying range and thereafter the control pulses are delivered by means of a pole current regulator. The placement into operation of a power converter operating in the inverting mode is accomplished in a similar fashion. Reactive power swings or fluctuations between the network and the power converters are avoided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
In a method of placing into operation one power converter group operating in a rectifying mode of a number of power converter groups which with respect to a direct-current are connected in series and with respect to an alternating-current are connected in parallel of a high voltage direct-current power transmission installation, wherein a bypass switch is connected in parallel with each power converter group, the improvement which comprises the steps of: setting control pulses of one power converter group of the power converter groups which is to be placed into operation at a range of approximately 100 to 115 electrical degrees; thereafter delivering an opening command to the bypass switch of such one power converter group in order to open said bypass switch; said control pulses, after accomplishing opening of said bypass switch, being shifted according to a predeterminable linear ramp function in a rectifying range; and thereafter setting the control pulses to be load-current dependent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
In a method of placing into operation one power converter group operating in a rectifying mode of a number of power converter groups which with respect to a direct-current are connected in series and with respect to an alternating-current are connected in parallel of a high voltage direct-current power transmission installation, wherein a bypass switch is connected in parallel with each power converter group, the improvement which comprises the steps of: setting control pulses of one power converter group of the power converter groups which is to be placed into operation at a range of approximately 100 to 115 electrical degrees; thereafter delivering an opening command to the bypass switch of such one power converter group in order to open said bypass switch; said control pulses, after accomplishing opening of said bypass switch, being shifted according to a predeterminable linear ramp function in a rectifying range; and thereafter setting the control pulses to be load-current dependent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
75 words
The method as defined in claim 1, further including the steps of: comparing a rectified current in an infeed line of the one power converter group which is to be placed into operation with current in a direct-current line; and upon the presence of a longer lasting deviation of both currents delivering to the bypass switch a switching-on command and undertaking for the one power converter group a bypass control with subsequent control pulse blocking.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
217 words
In a method of placing into operation one power converter group operating in an inverting mode of a number of power converter groups which with respect to a direct-current are connected in series and with respect to an alternating-current are connected in parallel of a high voltage direct-current power transmission installation, wherein a bypass switch is connected in parallel with each power converter group, the improvement which comprises the steps of: setting control pulses of one power converter group of the power converter groups which is to be placed into operation at a range of approximately 100 to 115 electrical degrees; thereafter delivering an opening command to the bypass switch of such one power converter group in order to open said bypass switch; said control pulses, after accomplishing opening of said bypass switch, being displaced according to a predeterminable linear ramp function in a rectifying range; shifting the control pulses, upon accomplishment of opening of the bypass switch, by means of a predeterminable linear ramp function initially in a rectifying mode until reaching a predeterminable control threshold angle of approximately 85 electrical degrees; thereafter accomplishing a revertive control of the control pulses in an inverting mode until reaching a predetermined greatest possible control angle; and thereafter setting the control pulses as a function of an extinguishing angle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
78 words
The method as defined in claim 3, further including the steps of: comparing a rectified current in an infeed line of the one power converter group which is to be placed into operation with current in a direct-current line; and upon the presence of a longer lasting deviation of both currents delivering to the bypass switch a switching-on command and undertaking for power rectifiers of the one power converter group a bypass control with subsequent control pulse blocking.
