Offshore Wind Farm Power Control Using HVdc Link Control de puissance d’un parc Êolien en mer utilisant la liaison CCHT ABSTRACT: In this paper, a method is presented to control offshore wind farm output power. This method is able to fix the wind farm output power even during wind speed variations. In the proposed method, the offshore wind farm is connected to the onshore grid through the high-voltage dc (HVdc) cable. Moreover, the power control of the wind turbines is achieved by controlling the HVdc convertors. In the proposed system, the generator side convertors have to control the active power absorbed from the wind, and the grid side ones are obtained to control the HVdc link voltage. The control system is based on applying the appropriate modulation index to the voltage source converters. Two control strategies are proposed and analyzed to control wind farm output power. The simulation results illustrate that the proposed method is able to smooth the output power of the offshore wind farms appropriately. The proposed wind farm configuration and the control system are validated by simulations in the MATLAB/Simulink environment.

0-9347143789/9949240245 CONCLUSION: In this paper, the configuration and control methods have been proposed for the offshore wind turbines, connected to the onshore grid. This method is capable to control and smooth the wind farm output power, injected to the onshore grid. The proposed system can mitigate the fluctuations of wind farm output power, even during wind speed variations. In other words, the wind farm can operate such as a PQ-bus. Moreover, two strategies (fixed power and MPPT) have been analyzed and compared with each other. Finally, the proposed method is compared with other similar works to smooth the output power of the wind farm. The main result is that the proposed method can smooth the output power better than the TSR, PAC, and OTC methods. But it is a bit weaker than the KEC method in power smoothing issue. Moreover, using this method, the wind farm is able to cooperate in frequency control of the onshore grid by controlling the desired active power, to improve the power system operation, which is the future work of the authors.
