Adaptive Voltage Reference Based Controls of Converter Power Sharing and Pilot Voltage in HVDC System for Large-Scale Offshore Wind Integration

Active power sharing and voltage regulation are two of the major control challenges in the operation of the voltage source converter based multi-terminal high-voltage DC (VSC-MTDC) system when integrating large-scale offshore wind farms (OWFs). This paper proposes two novel adaptive voltage referenc...

description Active power sharing and voltage regulation are two of the major control challenges in the operation of the voltage source converter based multi-terminal high-voltage DC (VSC-MTDC) system when integrating large-scale offshore wind farms (OWFs). This paper proposes two novel adaptive voltage reference based droop control methods to regulate pilot DC voltage and share the power burden autonomously. The proposed Method I utilizes DC grid lossy model with the local voltage droop control strategy, while the proposed Method II adopts a modified pilot voltage droop control (MPVDC) to avoid the large errors caused by the DC grid lossless model. Dynamic simulations of a five-terminal MTDC grid are carried out using MATLAB/Simulink SimPowerSystems /Specialized Technology to verify the proposed autonomous control methods under various types of disturbance and contingency. In addition, comparative study is implemented to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed methods.
