Abstract

The voltage source converter-high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) transmission is the ideal integration technology for grid-connected wind farms. A passivity-based control (PBC) method for VSC-HVDC when the wind farm voltage is unbalanced is proposed in this paper. The mathematical model of a VSC with unbalanced voltage is established. The PBC theory including dissipation inequality and system strict passivity is introduced, and then the stability of PBC is proven in light of the Lyapunov stability theory. According to PBC theory, a Euler--Lagrange mathematical model of a VSC is constructed. After that, the strict passivity of the VSC is proven. On the premise of the power factor being 1, the PBC controller for the VSC-HVDC system is designed under d-q coordination. The control law is deduced in detail. In order to accelerate the convergence speed, dampers are added to the PBC controller. The decoupled control of the active power and the reactive power is achieved by this method. The dynamic and steady performances of the VSC-HVDC system in a grid-connected wind farm when the wind farm voltage is unbalanced are significantly improved. Furthermore, the robustness of the system is enhanced. The simulation results verify the feasibility and correctness of the method.
