Enhancing Dynamic Stability Performance of Hybrid AC/DC Power Grids Using a New Robust Controller

Abstract

This research investigates the dynamic performance of a multi-terminal DC (MTDC) network linked to a wind farm side converter. The suggested approach is based on loop shaping, mutual quality decomposition, and an effective H controller architecture (MQDM). The transfer function was built as the wind power plant shifted from the Master-Slave control approach to the conventional feedback control method. The singular value curves of the original open-loop system and the suggested solution are compared in order to derive the weighting functions of the robust H controller. The control gain is then calculated by utilizing the MQDM approach to get the system's transfer function from the state space. By using the single value order reduction approach and frequency response analysis to generate a robust controller's gain, the suggested methodology was put into practice. The suggested method for controlling the DC grid voltage on the MTDC converter on the wind farm side has now been implemented in the MATLAB environment. Applying various uncertainties to the DC grid, wind turbines, and AC grid using simulation data demonstrates how reliable the suggested approach is.
