A VSG-Based Coordinated DC Voltage Control for VSC-HVDC to Participate in Frequency Regulation

In this paper, a coordinated DC voltage control strategy is proposed based on the VSG (virtual synchronous generator) method for the VSC-HVDC transmission system to participate in the frequency regulation of the connected weak grid. The voltage and power control capability of the VSC-HVDC is explore...

description In this paper, a coordinated DC voltage control strategy is proposed based on the VSG (virtual synchronous generator) method for the VSC-HVDC transmission system to participate in the frequency regulation of the connected weak grid. The voltage and power control capability of the VSC-HVDC is explored to attenuate the rate of change of frequency and to diminish the deviation of frequency. This is realized by the coordinated control of DC voltages at both the sending and the receiving ends with the VSG method. A small-signal model is established to investigate the dynamics of the control system. A tuning method for the selection of control parameters is also discussed in detail. The validity and superiority of the proposed control strategy are tested in the scenarios of sudden load changes and short circuit faults.
