Abstract:

This paper proposed a novel control strategy-coordinated DC voltage control (DCVC)-to enhance the AC fault ride through capability of multi-terminal high voltage direct current (HVDC) system. This control strategy is independent on exact line impedance parameters, and has a better performance than the conventional voltage droop control on keeping DC voltage constant and distributing power fast and flexibly. During the AC fault period, this novel control strategy is able to avoid the overvoltage of HVDC lines and make full use of active power by combing power distribution ratio adjustment and a series of AC fault ride through some methods, including voltage reduction, frequency increase and DC chopper methods. The control effect was validated by a five-terminal HVDC system based on PSCAD/EMTDC under different degrees of AC fault.
