In multi-infeed hybrid AC-DC (MIDC) systems, the asynchronous interconnection between regional grids, the complicated system dynamics and possible cascading failures have an enormous effect on the frequency stability. In order to deal with the frequency instability problems in emergency situations, this paper proposes a decentralized emergency frequency control strategy based on coordinated droop for the MIDC system. First, a P-f droop control for LCC-HVDC systems is introduced and the coordinated droop mechanism among LCC-HVDC systems and generators is designed. Then, to reasonably allocate the power imbalance among LCC-HVDC systems and generators, an optimal emergency frequency control (OEFC) problem is formulated, and the optimal droop coefficients are selected in a decentralized approach, which can deal with various control objectives. A Lyapunov stability analysis shows that the closedloop equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable considering the LCC-HVDC dynamics. The effectiveness of the proposed emergency control strategy is verified through simulations.
