Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Multiterminal VSC-HVDC (Voltage Sources Converter, High Voltage Direct Current) experimental platform. Operational points considering offshore wind farms and a droop-based controller are described. In addition, the experimental platform has been tested under several conditions as: normal operation, grid side converter disconnection and wind farm converter disconnection.
