Modified Unified Control of VSC-HVDC Based Offshore Wind Farm Connected to Onshore LargeScale Photovoltaic Power Station

In this paper, a new configuration for a multi-terminal offshore wind farms based VSC-HVDC and large scale photovoltaic system using modified unified adaptive linear neuron (Adaline) algorithm is presented. In the offshore station, the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based wind turbines are tied to the bus via back-to-back converters and a step-up transformer. The large scale photovoltaic power is connected to the dc bus between the offshore voltage source converters (VSC) and onshore VSC-HVDC stations via a modular multilevel converter (MMC). The Power management and the synchronization between two buses are achieved by controlling the two VSC converters. The performance of the topology proposed is tested using Matlab/Simulink during permanent operation mode and in the presence of DC fault.
