A generalized approach for design of contingency versatile DC voltage droop control in multi-terminal HVDC networks

The non-deterministic nature of power fluctuations in renewable energy sources impose challenges to the design DC voltage-droop controller Multi-Terminal High-Voltage (MTDC) systems. Fixed droop control does not consider converters’ capacity and system operational constraints. Consequently, an adaptive is counseled for appropriate demand distribution. previous studies based on Available-Headroom (AH) have lacked demonstration gain during consecutive disturbances. In this paper, voltage investigated with several approaches, permitted global and/or local AH Loading Factor (LF). Modified approaches are presented along a perturbation technique achieve power-sharing LF. addition, impact Multi-Updated (MU), Single-Updated (SU), Irregular-Updated (IU) gains investigated. main objective minimize burden converters variations/consecutive disturbances while maintaining constraints grid (i.e., rating). evaluated through case 4-terminal 5-terminal radial MTDC networks.
