    Abstract:

    Due to the fact that a high share of renewable energy sources (RESs) are connected to high-voltage direct current (HVDC) sending-end AC power systems, the voltage and frequency regulation capabilities of HVDC sending-end AC power systems have diminished. This has resulted in potential system operating problems such as overvoltage and overfrequency, which occur simultaneously when block faults exist in the HVDC link. In this study, a steady-state voltage security-constrained optimal frequency control method for weak HVDC sending-end AC power systems is proposed. The integrated virtual inertia control of RESs is employed for system frequency regulation. Additional dynamic reactive power compensation devices are utilized to control the voltage of all nodes meet voltage security constraints. Then, an optimization model that simultaneously considers the frequency and steady-state voltage security constraints for weak HVDC sending-end AC power systems is established. The optimal control scheme with the minimum total cost of generation tripping and additional dynamic reactive power compensation required is obtained through the optimization solution. Simulations are conducted on a modified IEEE 9-bus test system and practical Qing-Yu line commutated converter based HVDC (LCC-HVDC) sending-end AC power system to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
