Abstract

The first part is concerned with dynamic aggregated modelling of large offshore wind farms and their integration into power systems via VSC-HVDC links. The dynamic aggregated modelling of offshore wind farms including WT-DFIGs and WT-PMSGs are proposed to achieve effective representations of wind farms in terms of computational time and simulation accuracy for transient stability analysis. Modelling and control of VSC-HVDC systems for integration of offshore wind farms are investigated. Comparisons of two control schemes of rectifier-side converter are carried out to evaluate their dynamic performance for integration of these offshore wind farms in terms of transient stability. The second part is to address the advanced transmission systems with innovative HVDC configurations. Feasibility studies of updated schemes of monoplolar CSC-HVDC link with support of monopolar VSC-HVDC link as the hybrid bipolar CSC/I{VDC system is carried out to deal with two key issues of CSC-HVDC. Small-signal modelling of MTDC grids is investigated and parameter optimisation of PI controller of converters in MTDC grids is carried out using PSO method based on small-signal models of the system at multiple operating points to obtain optimised parameters of PI controllers to improve dynamic performance of MTDC grids at multiple operating points.
