Abstract
This paper describes the modelling and simulation of offshore wind power plants (WPP) connected to the onshore power system grid by VSC based HVDC transmission. Offshore wind power plant is modelled with several wind turbine generators connected to two separate collector buses with their own plant step-up transformers. VSC's are modelled using ideal IGBT switches supplied by the gate pulses from their respective controllers.
A sequence of operation has been simulated from the starting up of the VSC-HVDC transmission, energizing the offshore grid and subsequent synchronization of the individual wind turbines. Simulation of power ramping up and down as well as steady state operation has been demonstrated. As an additional case, the primary reserve control logic has been implemented and simulated in PSCAD model.
