Modular multilevel converter-based high-voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) transmission is becoming a trend in offshore wind-farm integration. However, the large DC-side energy dissipation equipment, which is utilized to dissipate surplus wind power under grid fault conditions, will largely increase the cost of MMC-HVDC systems. To reduce the cost, a novel low voltage ride-through (LVRT) strategy is proposed in this paper. When a grid fault occurs and the DC voltage exceeds the limit, the sending end converter is controlled to reduce the AC voltage of the wind farm. The LVRT of the wind generators will be activated, and the output active power of the wind farm is reduced. With this coordination, the DC-side energy dissipation equipment only needs to dissipate surplus power in the early stage of the grid fault before the output active power of the wind farm drops. Therefore, the heat generated by braking resistors can be significantly reduced. On this basis, the braking resistors can be distributed into the submodules of the receiving end converter (REC) station. The LVRT problem can be solved without building an individual energy dissipation station. Using the proposed coordination strategy, the construction cost of the MMC-HVDC system with offshore wind farm integration can be significantly reduced.
