Abstract :
A multi-terminal voltage source converter based high voltage DC transmission systems (MTDC) was used for grid-connection of large offshore wind power generation. The design of a control system was discussed. A four-terminal system was built to test the control idea. Simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC has been carried out under various load and fault conditions.
