摘要

Offshore wind power transmission systems require high capacity, and LCC-based HVDC transmission systems are well-suited to meet this demand. Nevertheless, LCCs are dependent on the grid to supply commutation voltage, and in the event of voltage dips or distortions in the grid, commutation failures can readily occur. This results in significant oscillations between the AC and DC sides, thereby compromising the system’s safe and stable operation. This paper introduces a method to enhance the system’s resilience to commutation failures by integrating an MMC-based VSC-HVDC system in parallel with an LCC-HVDC inverter station. The MMC offers the advantage of decoupled control of active and reactive power, enabling it to stabilize the AC bus voltage. By maintaining the stability of the AC bus voltage, the resilience of the parallel system to commutation failures is augmented, thereby improving the overall stability of the combined transmission system. Subsequently, a parallel hybrid HVDC system model was developed in PSCAD/EMTDC to simulate AC grid faults, and a coordinated control strategy was formulated. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control method significantly enhances the system’s capability to withstand commutation failures.
