Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve the P-I controllers of the voltage-source converters (VSC)-based multiterminal high voltage direct-current (MT-HVDC) networks. Since the VSCs are the non-linear elements of the MT-HVDC stations, the classical optimization methods, which approximately implement the linear model to optimize the P-I controllers of the VSCs, do not generate optimal results. Therefore, this paper presents a novel technique to optimize the VSC-based MT-HVDC grids’ P-I controllers by embedding the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm. The voltage-droop control method is employed at on-shore grids to ensure the active and reactive power balance within MT-HVDC networks. During an evaluation, achieved via a detailed four-terminal MT-HVDC model designed in PSCAD/EMTDC, the improved results obtained under different dynamic situations such as unbalance wind power generation, change in load demand at the on-shore side grids, and eventual VSC disconnection, respectively.
