Abstract
The intricate dynamics in renewables transmitted through modular multilevel converter based high voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) may induce new low-frequency oscillation (LFO). This stability issue has not been deeply explored in existing literature. In light of this, this paper establishes a representative model of converter-interfaced generations (CIGs) with MMC-HVDC transmission. Then, eigenvalue-based analyses, time-domain simulations, and block diagrams are employed to investigate the mechanism and characteristics of the new LFO. For the first time, this paper indicates the coexistence of two LFO modes in such a system, which could become unstable simultaneously. The LFO modes mainly originate from the interaction among the phase-locked loop (PLL) of CIGs, DC voltage control of CIGs, and AC voltage control of MMC. These loops’ contributions to two LFO modes are sensitive to certain parameter settings. The paper further analyzes the key factors affecting LFO characteristics, including the control parameters of CIGs and MMC, and the number of online CIGs. Possible control measures for this new oscillation issue are also discussed.
