Abstract
Voltage Source Converter High Voltage Direct Current (VSC_HVDC) is a hopeful technology for future smart grid and offshore applications. It can be used to feed weak networks and can be kept compact, which makes it more appropriated to build connections to offshore wind farms. The feasibility for such applications has been proven by projects all over the world. The development of renewable energies such as offshore wind energy as well as multiplication of HVDC links between the different countries of the Union European create the possibility to build a Multi-terminal HVDC (MTDC) offshore grid which is superimposed on the existing HVAC network.This paper focused on HVDC transmission systems with three terminals considered as the most plausible projects in the future. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the controllability of VSC-HVDC transmissions and to discuss on the existing principal controls such as master slave and voltage droop command. Simulation results show the drawback of the traditionnel master slave control and the effectiveness of the voltage droop control method.
