Abstract
Short-circuit faults for HVDC connected Wind Power Plants (WPPs) have been studied mostly for dc link and onshore ac grid faults, while the offshore ac faults, especially asymmetrical faults, have been mostly omitted in the literature. Requirements related to the offshore asymmetrical faults have been kept as future development at national levels in the recent ENTSO-E HVDC network code. In this paper offshore ac faults are studied using the classical power system fault analysis methods. It is shown that suppression of negative sequence current flow is not applicable and negative sequence current has to flow during the asymmetrical offshore faults, which implies that the offshore WPP and the HVDC offshore converter are required to provide flow of negative sequence current. The steady-state fault analysis is verified with time-domain simulations.
