Abstract

This paper presents a novel application of the chaos game optimization (CGO) algorithm to optimally design PI controllers for power electronic interface circuits of offshore wind farms (OWF) consisting of a permanent magnet synchronous generator powered by a variable-speed wind turbine. The OWF is linked to the network via a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system. The CGO metaheuristic method is employed to fine-tune voltage source converter (VSC)-based HVDC transmission systems’ proportional-integral controller gains. The study explores multiple strategies to extract the highest power from the system while ensuring stability under symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault conditions. The CGO algorithm consistently yields superior results to other algorithms, improving system regaining and stability post disturbances. Consequently, the technique enhances the dynamic and transient stability of the OWF. The detailed study is implemented using MATLAB/Simulink.
