Abstract

An installation for transmission of electric power by means of high-voltage direct current has two converters (SRI, SRII), each of which is connected to an alternating-voltage network (NI, NII) and which are connected to each other through a dc connection (L). One converter (SRI) is controlled as a rectifier and another converter (SRII) is controlled as an inverter. One converter (SRI) is current-controlling and another converter (SRII) is voltage-controlling. The installation has means (VARC.sub.rect) adapted, at such a change of the control angle (.alpha..sub.rect) of the current-controlling converter (SRI) that the angle reaches a limit of a predetermined interval (.alpha..sub.max nom rect -.alpha..sub.min nom rect) to control, by means of the voltage-controlling converter (SRII), the direct voltage (Ud) of the transmission in such a way that said change is limited.
