Decentralized Secondary Frequency Restoration and Power Sharing Control for MTDC Transmission Systems

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) is increasingly utilized for long-distance electric power transmission, mainly due to its low resistive losses. In this paper, a decentralized control strategy is proposed to address the secondary frequency restoration and real power sharing problem for multi-terminal direct current (MTDC) transmission systems. We establish a sufficient stability condition to guarantee that the designed decentralized leaky integral controller can restore the frequency to its nominal value. Furthermore, the proposed controller can adjust the real power sharing ratio according to different working conditions. An MTDC system consisting of 4 AC systems is built in MATLAB Simulink environment. Numerical simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of proposed decentralized control approach.
