A power transmission network (10) comprises a plurality of converters (12a,12b,12c,12d). Each converter (12a,12b,12c,12d) includes first and second electrical terminals (16,18), each first electrical terminal (16) being connectable to an electrical network (28a,28b,28c,28d), each second electrical terminal (18) being operatively connected to at least one other second electrical terminal (18). At least one converter (12a,12b,12c,12d) is designated as a first converter, at least one converter (12a,12b,12c,12d) is designated as a second converter, at least one other converter (12a,12b,12c,12d) is designated as a third converter, the or each first converter includes a first controller, the or each first controller being configured to selectively operate the or the respective first converter to modulate a power flow at its first or second electrical terminal (16,18), and the or each second converter includes a second controller, the or each second controller being configured to selectively operate the or the respective second converter to modulate a power flow at its second electrical terminal (18) so as to generate a compensatory power to compensate for an imbalance in power within the power transmission network (10) caused by the modulation of power flow by the or each first converter and thereby inhibit the modulation of power flow by the or each first converter from modifying a power flow in the or each third converter. |
