This study presents a backstepping power control (BPC) design for the grid‐side voltage source converter (GSVSC) in a voltage source converter‐based high‐voltage dc (VSC‐HVDC) wind power generation system. First, a dynamic model by taking parameter variations and external disturbances into account is derived on the basis of the space‐vector theory to achieve the decoupling control characteristic of the GSVSC in the VSC‐HVDC. Moreover, based on the backstepping design procedure, a BPC scheme is developed in the sense of Lyapunov stability theorem for the GSVSC to satisfy multiple objectives of a stable HVDC bus and the grid connection with a unity power factor. The salient feature of the proposed BPC is the introduction of additional error terms into the control laws to reduce the chattering phenomena in traditional backstepping control. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed BPC scheme is demonstrated by numerical simulations on a doubly‐fed induction generator wind farm with VSC‐HVDC grid connection, and its advantage is indicated in comparison with a traditional proportional‐integral control strategy under a wide range of operating conditions and the possible occurrence of uncertainties.
