An HVDC converter station (or simply converter station) is a specialised type of substation which forms the terminal equipment for a high-voltage direct current transmission line.[1] It converts direct current to alternating current or the reverse. Besides the converter itself, the station usually contains:
three-phase alternating current switch gear
transformers
capacitors or synchronous condensers for reactive power
filters for harmonic suppression, and
direct current switch gear
