Abstract

Voltage source converter, multi-terminal HVDC transmission (MTDC) for the connection of large offshore wind farms to the terrestrial grid is investigated. Induction generators without the need of wind turbine converters are installed in the wind farms due to the supports from the voltage source converters of the HVDC. A control system is designed which incorporates the voltage–current characteristics of the voltage source converters and the power reduction from the wind turbines during a fault. During normal operation, grid side converters control the DC voltage and coordinate the power sharing to the terrestrial grids. During abnormal operation, wind farm side converters take over the DC voltage control and coordinate the power reduction between wind farms. The control system removes the requirement for fast communication between the converters and achieves automatic coordination. The dynamic performance of a MTDC with the control system is tested through simulations using PSCAD/EMTDC.
