Abstract
This paper, explores the connection of a wind farm to the grid through high voltage direct current system on voltage source converter VSC-HVDC. 12 MW wind farm consisting of 6 individual 2 MW permanent magnet synchronous generators is presented. In this paper we proposed a new particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) based PI controller in order to optimize the gains of PI controller of VSC-HVDC link, which consequently improve the stability of the link after a strict faults. Different results are obtained to show the efficiency of the proposed PSO algorithm for the conception of optimal controller for a VSC-HVDC link connected to a wind farm. MATLAB/Similink simulations are provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed approach under serious perturbation as single AC fault and DC fault.
