Abstract

A method for operation of a converter circuit is specified, wherein the converter circuit has a converter unit with a multiplicity of drivable power semiconductor switches and an LCL filter which is connected to each phase connection of the converter unit, in which method the drivable power semiconductor switches are driven by means of a drive signal which is formed from reference voltages. The reference voltages are formed by subtraction of damping voltages from reference-phase connection voltages, with the damping voltages being formed from filter capacitance currents, weighted with a variable damping factor of the LCL filter. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also specified.
