  • Abstract
    Voltage source converter multi-terminal HVDC transmission (MTDC) for the connection of large offshore wind farms to the terrestrial grid is investigated. The voltage-current characteristics of converters for MTDC are presented. A control system for a four-terminal HVDC system is designed and simulated under both normal and abnormal operating conditions.
