- converting a.c. power from the one a.c. source into d.c. power in at least one of said converter stations;
transmitting said converted d.c. power to the other converter station;
converting said transmitted d.c. power into a.c. power in said other converter station;
controlling said a.c.-to-d.c. conversion of said at least one converter station depending on a difference between a d.c. current reference and a real d.c. current flowing in the high voltage direct current system; and
controlling said d.c.-to-a.c. conversion of said other converter station so as to maintain a constant margin angle of commutation; and
characterized byreducing the d.c. current reference during a predetermined period when the operation mode of the high voltage direct current system is changed.

Abstract
A HVDC system has two converter stations, each of which has two converters connected in cascade to operate as a rectifier or an inverter and the stations are connected through a d.c. power transmission line to each other and are connected to respective a.c. power sources through the a.c. power transmission lines. Each converter is controlled depending on the difference between a current reference for the HVDC system and an actual current flowing in the HVDC system when the converter operates as a rectifier, and controlled depending on the output of the constant margin angle control circuit when the converter operates as an inverter. When the converter operation condition is changed, i.e. another converter operates in addition to the converters in operation or the direction of power transmission in the HVDC system is changed, the current reference for the HVDC system is reduced depending on the d.c. voltage during a predetermined period.
