Abstract

This paper proposes control of unified high voltage direct current transmission (HVDC) system for offshore wind power plant to improve transient management scheme. The modern HVDC transmission system overcome drawbacks of conventional AC transmission network and thus HVDC is preferred in between offshore WPP and onshore grid. The configuration of this HVDC system comprises of both series and shunt compensator named as unified HVDC (UHVDC). This ensures smooth power transfer, DC link voltage regulation and fast fault clearance during transient conditions. Optimal control of Unified HVDC is realized by synchronous reference frame technique (SRF). Entire system is designed and simulated using Matlab/Simulink platform and the obtained results are analyzed.
