This paper presents an improved droop-based control strategy for the active and reactive power-sharing on the large-scale Multi-Terminal High Voltage Direct Current (MT-HVDC) systems. As droop parameters enforce the stability of the DC grid, and allow the MT-HVDC systems to participate in the AC voltage and frequency regulation of the different AC systems interconnected by the DC grids, a communication-free control method to optimally select the droop parameters, consisting of AC voltage-droop, DC voltage-droop, and frequency-droop parameters, is investigated to balance the power in MT-HVDC systems and minimize AC voltage, DC voltage, and frequency deviations. A five-terminal Voltage-Sourced Converter (VSC)-HVDC system is modeled and analyzed in EMTDC/PSCAD and MATLAB software. Different scenarios are investigated to check the performance of the proposed droop-based control strategy. The simulation results show that the proposed droop-based control strategy is capable of sharing the active and reactive power, as well as regulating the AC voltage, DC voltage, and frequency of AC/DC grids in case of sudden changes, without the need for communication infrastructure. The simulation results confirm the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed droop-based control strategy.

The active and reactive power sharing of distributed generation sources (DGs) connected to isolated microgrids with a single point of common coupling (mono-PCC) to which the loads are also connected has already been the subject of several studies. A high penetration rate of DGs based on renewable energies has as a logical consequence the development and implementation of mesh and more complex multi- PCC microgrids. In this paper, a developed droop control method for synchronization and power sharing between different DGs connected to a mesh islanded multi-PCC microgrid with many distributed generation sources (DGs) and different type of loads (including active load (CPL)) randomly connected to different PCCs is applied. Then, a state model of the entire mesh microgrid is developed integrating the generators with their controllers, power lines, droop algorithms and dynamic loads. This model is then used to study the asymptotic stability and robustness properties of the system. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the applied strategies for the synchronization of the different DGs to the microgrid while ensuring an efficient active and reactive power sharing. also, they confirm the validity of the developed state space model of the system.

In view of a serious threat for the transient stability of the power system being caused by the large-scale wind farms integration, and combining with advantages of STATCOM which can quickly restore the fault voltage and fastly, flexibly and smoothly compensate the reactive power, a method is proposed using STATCOM controller of to improve transient stability of the power system integrated by large-scale wind farms. The control strategy of the STATCOM controller uses adaptive double loop control. The role of the device to improvement transient stability of the power system is studied under the condition of serious fault. by simulation comparison with the condition without STATCOM controller installed at the same place. The simulation results show that the STATCOM controller can clearly improve transient stability of the power system integrated by large-scale wind farms.

For the defect Guizhou-Guangdong II ± 500kV HVDC System can not configure filter in accordance with the voltage-mode, which may lead to excessive voltage of AC system, even appear cutting filter due to AC voltage limiting. This paper presents a power adjusting strategy in the process of voltage recovering, based on the character that consume of reactive power converter valve changes with DC voltage. With dynamic functional test and system test, the strategy cuts filter rationally, solving the overvoltage problem of AC system in the process of voltage recovering. It also simplifies the reactive power control strategy.

<p>A new power sharing method of a virtual sychronous generator control based inverters is introduced in this paper. Since virtual synchronous generator has virtual inertia and damping properties, it significantly enhances the grid stability. However, its output power considerably affects by the line impedance. Thus, in this paper, the relation between the droop control and the line impedance is analyzed at first. Then, by appling an improved droop control strategy to an inverter based on the virtual sychronous generator control, achieving proportional active and reactive power sharing unaffected by the line impedance is realized. The result shows that a smooth response is achieved. As well as, the voltage drop caused by the line impedance is totally compensated. As a result, the system stability is furtherly improved. At last, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through MATLAB/Simulink.</p>
