This paper presents a frequency support strategy for the diode rectifier unit (DRU)-high-voltage direct current (HVDC)-based offshore wind power integration system, which coordinates multiple power sources without communication to reduce receiving grid frequency fluctuations. First, based on the deduced DRU's frequency transfer characteristic, a fine-designed ripple carrying frequency information is superimposed on the HVDC link, transferring the onshore frequency to offshore wind turbines (WTs) via the DC ripple and coupled AC harmonic without communication. Second, multiple power sources are utilized for frequency support, including HVDC capacitance and grid-forming WTs combined with energy storage systems, and appropriate sources are activated in the order specified by the designed thresholds. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed frequency support strategy is verified by simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC.
Offshore wind power in deep and far offshore areas is one of the important sources of power supply increment along the eastern coastal regions of China. However, with the gradual increase in the grid-connected renewable energy represented by offshore wind power, the trend of “hollowing out” in the power system has become more pronounced. In order to provide solid and reliable frequency support for the onshore main AC power grid, this paper innovatively proposes a grid-friendly control strategy based on the system where offshore wind power is transmitted through a medium-frequency MMC. This paper first introduces the system structure and basic principles, then proposes a communication-less main AC grid frequency support control strategy, and conducts simulation verification in PSCAD. The research results show that this strategy can significantly reduce the frequency deviation of the onshore power grid and enhance the stability and resilience of the grid.
This study analyzes the stability and reactive characteristics of the hybrid offshore wind farm that includes gridforming(GFM) and grid-following(GFL) wind turbines(WTs) integrated with a diode rectifier unit(DRU) based high-voltage direct current(HVDC) system. The determination method for the proportion of GFM WTs is proposed while considering system stability and optimal offshore reactive power constraints. First, the small-signal stability is studied based on the developed linear model, and crucial factors that affect the stability are captured by eigenvalue analysis. The reactive power-frequency compensation control of GFM WTs is then proposed to improve the reactive power and frequency dynamics. Second, the relationship between offshore reactive power imbalance and the effectiveness of GFM capability is analyzed. Offshore reactive power optimization methods are next proposed to diminish offshore reactive load. These methods include the optimal design for the reactive capacity of the AC filter and the reactive power compensation control of GFL WTs. Third, in terms of stability and optimal offshore reactive power constraints, the principle and calculation method for determining the proportion of GFM WTs are proposed, and the critical proportion of GFM WTs is determined over the full active power range. Finally, case studies using a detailed model are conducted by timedomain simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC. The simulations verify the theoretical analysis results and the effectiveness of the proposed determination method for the proportion of GFM WTs and reactive power optimization methods.
The VSC-HVDC transmission systems are the typical solution for integrating far offshore wind power. Using diode rectifier units (DRUs) at the rectifier stations can further enhance the system’s economic efficiency and reliability. Therefore, a steady-state power flow calculation method of AC system transmission system for offshore wind power, based on grid-forming (GFM) wind turbines and DRU, is proposed. The topology of the offshore wind power integration system using DRU is described, and the GFM control strategy of the wind turbines, utilizing Q-f(reactive power-frequency) droop control, is introduced. The proposed steady-state power flow calculation method iterates the power flow using the reactive power imbalance in AC bus at the DRU-based converter station and considers the Q-f droop control characteristics of the GFM wind turbines. The steady-state operational characteristics of AC transmission systems for offshore wind power, based on GFM wind turbines and DRU, are analyzed for both the low-frequency and intermediate-frequency AC transmission systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated.

Abstract The diode rectifier unit (DRU) is promising in offshore wind power integration due to its reliability and economy. Offshore AC voltage control is the key technology of the DRU‐based scheme. In this paper, a low‐cost offshore wind power integration system based on the DRU and the modular multilevel converter (MMC) in parallel on the rectifier side is proposed. The low‐capacity MMC rectifier is controlled to establish the offshore AC voltage amplitude and frequency, maintain all offshore wind active power transmitted by the DRU, and provide reactive power compensation and AC harmonic filtering for the DRU. Besides, the fault ride‐through strategies of both the offshore fault and the onshore fault are proposed. Moreover, the calculation method of the rated capacity of the MMC rectifier is derived. The time domain simulations of the hybrid system under typical operating conditions are investigated in PSCAD/EMTDC, and the feasibility of the proposed scheme is verified.
Offshore wind farms are the main trend of future wind power exploitation. The diode rectifier unit (DRU) shows great potential in offshore wind power integration due to its economy and reliability benefits, and stable AC voltage control of the offshore gird is the key technology of the DRU based scheme. In this paper, the sensitivities of the DRU based system are defined and the sensitivity calculation method is proposed. According to the sensitivity characteristics analysis, the relationship between the wind turbine (WT) active power (or reactive power) and the WT output voltage (or system frequency) is clarified. On this basis, a grid-forming control strategy for WT converters is proposed. The stable operation mechanism of the grid-forming WTs in the DRU based system is demonstrated according to the analysis of steady state operation point existence and small disturbance stability. The time domain simulations of two DRU based offshore wind farm integration systems are carried out in PSCAD/EMTDC, and the feasibility of the proposed grid-forming control is verified.
The modular multilevel matrix converter (M3C) is the core component in low-frequency AC (LFAC) transmission, which is a competitive scheme for offshore wind power integration. In this paper, the M3C control strategy with the reduced switching frequency SM voltage balancing method is proposed. First, based on the conventional αβ0 and dq transformations, the M3C mathematical model is derived.

The inner loop controller consists of the current tracking controller in the dq reference frame and the circulating current suppressing controller in the αβ0 reference frame; the outer loop controller is proposed for the offshore wind farm LFAC integration scenario. Additionally, according to the operating characteristics of full-bridge sub-modules (FBSMs), three characteristic variables are defined and a reduced switching frequency SM voltage balancing method based on the nearest level control (NLC) is proposed. Finally, time-domain simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed control strategy.
