A globally asymptotically stable decentralized PI controller for multi-terminal high-voltage DC transmission systems

In this paper the problem of controlling a multi-terminal voltage source converter-based high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission system is addressed. A decentralized PI control that guarantees global asymptotical stability of the closed-loop system is proposed. The performance of the controller design is verified via simulations on a two-terminals example.
