  • Publication number: 20160308359
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a coordination control method of a multi-terminal VSC-HVDC transmission system. If a direct current voltage master control station shuts down, a direct current voltage control slave station takes over direct current voltage control, and remaining convertor stations keep original control modes. The takeover steps comprise that under the condition that inter-station communications are effective, the master control station sends a shutdown message to the slave station through the inter-station communications, and when the slave station monitors that the direct current voltage master control station shuts down, the slave station switches a current control mode into a direct current voltage control mode; and under the condition that inter-station communications fail or inter-station communications are absent, the slave station monitors changes of the direct current voltage of a system.
