An Enhanced AC Fault Ride through Scheme for Offshore Wind-Based MMC-HVDC System

doi: 10.3390/su15118922
This study presents an improved, communication-free Fault Ride-Through (FRT) strategy for type-3 and type-4 wind turbine integrated modular multilevel converter-based high-voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) systems in offshore wind power plants (OWPPs). The research aims to enhance the reliability and resilience of OWPPs by ensuring their connection with AC grids remains intact during and after faults. Simulation results conducted on a 580 kV, 850 MW MMC-HVDC system using PSCAD/EMTDC software v.4.6.2 demonstrate quick post-fault recovery operation and the ability to effectively manage DC link and capacitor voltages within safe limits. Furthermore, the circulating current (CC) and capacitor voltage ripple (CVR) remain within acceptable limits, ensuring safe and reliable operation. The study’s major conclusion is that the proposed FRT strategy effectively mitigates the adverse effects of short circuit faults, such as a rapid rise in DC-link voltage, on the performance of the MMC-HVDC system. By promptly suppressing DC-link overvoltage, the proposed FRT scheme prevents compromising the safe operation of various power electronics equipment. These findings highlight the significance of FRT capability in OWPPs and emphasize the practical applicability of the proposed strategy in enhancing the reliability of offshore wind power generation.
