Abstract
Using VSC-MTDC for wind farm integration is considered to be a promising solution. In order to provide a stable ac voltage control and avoid active power control conflicts, the amplitude-phase control strategy, rather than the active/reactive power decoupled control strategy, is generally applied for the VSC connected to wind farms. However, using such a control strategy, the flexibility of power flow control will be partly lost. As the positive and negative pole dc networks in the bipolar VSC-MTDC can operate independently, a novel hybrid control strategy is proposed in this paper. In the proposed hybrid control strategy, the amplitude-phase control and active/reactive power decoupled control can be applied to the positive and negative poles, respectively. Hence, the hybrid strategy combines the advantages of the amplitude-phase control and active/reactive power decoupled control and can be adapted to bipolar VSC-MTDC for large-scale wind farm integration. Simulation results using PSCAD show that the hybrid control strategy can provide the stable ac voltage control and active/reactive power flow control for the integration of wind farms; moreover, such a hybrid control strategy is helpful to avoid the overload of dc lines, stabilize the dc voltage, and enhance the power transfer capability.
