description Frequency regulation of voltage source converter-based multi-terminal high-voltage direct current (VSC-MTDC) system with offshore wind farms enhances the frequency stability by compensating the power for a disturbed AC system. However, it is difficult to reasonably allocate frequency-regulation resources due to a lack of coordination mechanisms between wind farms and the MTDC system. Moreover, it is difficult for the frequency control of the wind farms to manage changes in wind speed; and the risk of wind-turbine stalls is high. Thus, based on the kinetic energy of wind turbines and the power margin of the converters, the frequency-regulation capability of wind turbines is evaluated, and a dynamic frequency-support scheme considering the real-time frequency-support capability of the wind turbines and system frequency evolution is proposed to improve the frequency-support performance. A power adaptation technique at variable wind speeds is developed; the active power in the frequency-support stage and restoration stage is switched according to the wind speed. A hierarchical zoning frequency-regulation scheme is designed to use the frequency-regulation resources of different links in the MTDC system with wind farms. The simulation results show that the novel frequency-regulation strategy maintains frequency stability with wind-speed changes and avoids multiple frequency dips.
