Abstract
Similar to other major electrical apparatuses, the reliability and stability of the dc network is becoming the most important issue when using the voltage-source-converter-based multiterminal dc (VSC-MTDC) system for offshore wind power integration. A coordinated control strategy of VSC-MTDC named master–auxiliary is proposed by combining the advantages of the voltage margin and voltage droop control. This strategy has three advantages. First, the master converter station with the constant dc voltage control can provide reference to the system dc voltage and is helpful for the stabilization of dc voltage. Second, the integrated control of the dc voltage in both master and auxiliary converter stations are helpful for providing adequate active power control (APC) and restraining large power variation. Third, the APC converter station can serve as a backup for the dc voltage control in abnormal conditions. In order to guarantee the reliability and stability of the system under various operating conditions, this paper introduces the priority of dc voltage control to the coordination control strategy. Moreover, a parameter optimizing method of controllers for this strategy is also proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the master–auxiliary control is verified by simulations under normal and abnormal conditions.
