Abstract
A bipole power transmission scheme includes a first converter station positioned in-use remote from a second converter station, and first and second transmission conduits to in-use interconnect the first converter station with the second converter station and thereby permit the first converter station to transmit power to the second converter station. The first converter station includes a first power converter, a second power converter, and a converter station controller which is programmed to selectively transition the bipole power transmission scheme into an asymmetrical monopole configuration, while maintaining the transfer of power from both the first and second power sources.
