Abstract:

Compared with traditional line commutated converter-based high voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC) transmission systems, the sending-end hybrid cascaded transmission system offers higher flexibility and strong adaptability to weak grids. However, as the proportion of renewable energy increases and the output from renewable energy bases becomes more unpredictable, the sending-end system faces challenges with poor voltage quality. Using static voltage sensitivity coefficients, the impact of the sending-end hybrid cascaded transmission system on the static voltage stability of the sending-end AC bus was analyzed. To improve voltage quality at the sending-end AC bus under high wind power scenarios, a reactive power coordination control strategy was designed for the hybrid cascaded system. This strategy combined a reactive power supplementary control strategy based on the modular multi-level converter (MMC) with a DC voltage supplementary control strategy, further stabilizing the AC bus voltage even when the reactive support capacity of the MMC was limited. A simulation model of the sending-end hybrid cascaded transmission system was built on the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation platform to validate the proposed coordination control strategy, demonstrating its effectiveness in regulating the sending-end AC bus voltage and enhancing voltage quality in the sending-end AC system.
