Adaptive Droop Control for DC Voltage Deviation and Power Sharing in Multi-terminal DC(MTDC) Grids

Abstract

Voltage source converter multi-terminal DC system(VSC-MTDC) have been used in many applications due to their many advantages. With conventional droop control, the voltage and power of the stable point are on a straight line with a specific slope. When subjected to a power disturbance, the voltage quality may be deteriorated or the power distribution effect of the converter station may be deteriorated. In this paper, a new adaptive control strategy is proposed for VSC-MTDC. The control system focuses on voltage quality at low loads and power distribution at high loads. It not only ensures voltage quality but also meets power distribution requirements. Simulation results are provided to verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.
