Abstract

A high voltage direct current power transmission series valve group control device, is used for regulating a series circuit having two or more valve groups provided with controllable power semiconductors respectively. Each valve group is provided with a current regulation unit and a voltage regulation unit. The current regulation unit controls a direct current current flowing through a valve group corresponding thereto, and the voltage regulation unit controls a voltage across two ends of a valve group corresponding thereto. One valve group is selected from the series valve group as a master control valve group, while the others are taken as slave control valve groups. The master control valve group selects a trigger angle output by the current regulation unit to control same, and the slave control valve group selects a trigger angle obtained after the trigger angle transmitted from the master control valve group and an output value of the voltage regulation unit pass through a subtractor to control same.
