Abstract

A novel adaptive droop control (ADC) is proposed in this paper for voltage source converter (VSC)-based medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) distribution systems. The proposed ADC can achieve MVDC bus voltage management and power sharing between VSCs with overloading operation consideration, solving the issue that all VSCs on the rectifier/inverter side reach their power limits concurrently after a large system disturbance. It is accomplished by factoring in the real-time power/voltage values at VSC stations and a newly introduced extended power component. This component is contingent on the actual operational state of the energy storage systems (ESSs) in MVDC systems and inversely correlated with the power delivered/absorbed by the ESSs. The effectiveness of proposed ADC is confirmed through an MVDC distribution system model built in RTDS real-time digital simulators.
