With the development of VSC HVDC transmission, the realization of the first VSC MTDC grid is coming within reach. An outstanding issue is DC voltage control in MTDC systems. The easiest way to maintain stable operation is to assign the task of DC voltage regulation to one converter. This paper discusses a control strategy for an extended VSC MTDC grid using a typical DC voltage control on one DC bus, combined with a DC voltage droop characteristic on the other DC buses. The impact of the proposed control structure on the stability of the AC and DC grid is investigated by numeric simulations using the MatDyn software package. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
