The offshore all‐DC wind farm with increasing capacity will bring problems such as the weakening of grid frequency stability and the increase of equivalent grid impedance. To overcome this, a coordinated control strategy for the offshore all‐DC wind farm is proposed here with two salient features: better performance under weak grid condition and real‐time frequency support from the wind farm. The control strategy consists of three parts: the inertia synchronising control of the receiving‐end converter, the constant ratio control of the DC transformer and the frequency response of the wind farm. With the proposed strategy, the all‐DC wind farm operates like a synchronous generator to the onshore grid, which provides fast frequency support when the onshore grid frequency changes. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated in power systems computer aided design (PSCAD)/electromagnetic transients including DC (EMTDC) using a typical IEEE 9 bus system.
