High-Frequency Oscillation Suppression Strategy for Renewable Energy Integration via Modular Multilevel Converter—High-Voltage Direct Current Transmission System Under Weak Grid Conditions

To address the high-frequency resonance issues in renewable energy systems integrated via MMC-HVDC transmission under weak grid conditions, this paper establishes a wide-frequency sequence impedance model for renewable energy grid-side converters and MMC-HVDC sending-end converters. The impedance characteristics of the MMC-HVDC transmission system under two distinct control modes are compared, and the constant power control mode is selected for detailed analysis to better evaluate the effectiveness of suppression strategies. Based on this framework, the superposition theorem is employed to analyze the interaction mechanism between the impedance characteristics of the MMC-HVDC sending-end converter and the renewable energy grid-connected system. Since the aim of this study is to propose suppression strategies for the MMC-HVDC transmission system, a sensitivity analysis of its control parameters is conducted. The results identify the current loop and voltage feedforward control as the dominant factors influencing high-frequency oscillations. Accordingly, a coordinated control strategy combining current loop regulation and voltage feedforward compensation is proposed. An electromagnetic transient simulation model is developed in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulations demonstrate that the proposed strategy effectively suppresses oscillations in the MMC-HVDC system across high-frequency ranges. Furthermore, it avoids negative damping characteristics within a broad frequency band, significantly enhancing the steady-state performance of renewable energy systems integrated via MMC-HVDC transmission.
