Abstract
A VSC-HVDC (Voltage Source Converter – High Voltage
Direct Current) dynamic model with a set of control strategies
is developed in DIgSILENT Power-Factory with the objective
of analyzing the converter’s operating capability for grid
support during grid faults.
The investigation is carried out based on a 165 MW offshore
wind farm with induction generators and a Low Voltage
Ride-Through solution of the offshore wind turbines and
Static Voltage Compensator units in the point of connection
with a grid represented by a reduced four-generator power
grid model.
VSC-HVDC promises to be a reliable alternative solution for
interconnection with off-shore wind farms as they become
larger, with a higher installed power capacity, increased
number of wind turbines, and geographically situated at larger
distances from suitable connection points in the transmission
grids.
