Abstract :
The paper considers a control solution for integration of large offshore doubly fed induction generator based wind farms with a common collection bus, controlled by a static compensator, into the main onshore grid, using line-commutated high-voltage direct current connection. The paper´s main focus is a mathematically grounded study of the power system interactions. That study produced an appropriate plant model for formal control design. A design procedure is described and the controlled system is validated using power systems computer-aided design/electromagnetic transient program simulations, which confirm the high performance of the proposed control strategy in both normal operation and fault conditions
