description The recent oscillation events in offshore wind farms (OWFs) connected via a modular multilevel-converter-based HVDC (MMC-HVDC) system are developing towards a wider frequency band, which causes complex a small-signal interaction phenomenon and difficulties in the stability analysis and control. In this paper, the wideband dynamic interaction mechanism is investigated based on the impedance analysis method and an improved control strategy using an optimization algorithm is proposed to improve the small-signal stability and reduce the oscillation risks. First, the detailed impedance models of the grid-connected system are established considering the distribution characteristics of the submarine cable, control delay and frequency coupling effect. Then, combined with the active damping control method, the wideband resonance mechanism is analyzed, and the stability constraints of controller parameters are obtained using the impedance stability criterion. Finally, an improved multi-objective slime mold algorithm (MOSMA)-based coordinated optimization control strategy is proposed to enhance the adaptability of the controller parameters and the wideband damping ability of a grid-connected system, which can improve the wideband stability of the system. The simulation and experimental results verify the proposed control strategy.
