description A three-phase voltage source converter (VSC) is the most common power electronic device in power systems, but its inherent nonlinearity leads to complex AC-DC harmonic coupling phenomena. Existing studies focus on the harmonic coupling characteristics of three-phase VSCs under three-phase symmetrical conditions, but the problem under asymmetrical conditions is rarely investigated. This paper proposes a practical modeling method for harmonic state space (HSS) modeling of the VSC topology, together with a classic <i>T</i>/4-delay-based decoupled double synchronous reference frame (DDSRF) control system. The steady-state phase shift characteristics of the <i>T</i>/4 delay link for each frequency component are first analyzed, and the expansion method of the DDSRF controller in the HSS frame is derived. Compared with the conventional method, the proposed technique can provide an accurate description of the steady-state effect of the delay link without introducing additional state variables and, therefore, can reduce model complexity and computation burden. Then, the small-signal close-loop HSS model of the VSC is established, and a harmonic transfer matrix between the AC positive sequence/negative sequence and DC current of different frequencies is developed, which reveals the global harmonic coupling relationship between AC and DC grids across the VSC. Analysis shows that the <i>T</i>/4-delay-link significantly weakens the AC-DC inter-harmonic coupling near the fundamental frequency. Finally, the electromagnetic transient simulations are carried out based on MATLAB/Simulink, and the validity of the proposed modeling method and the model and the correctness for the analysis of harmonic coupling characteristics are verified.
