The goal of this research project was to develop control concepts applicable to future multiterminal high voltage dc (MTDC) networks embedded in bulk power ac systems. The controls' objectives are to enhance the steady state and/or dynamic performance of the integrated MTDC/ac power system. A multi-terminal HVdc system is one with more than two converter terminals. The three basic control levels of an MTDC system are: primary control, supplementary power modulation (damping) controls, and dispatch control. This report describes novel techniques for use in all three levels of control. The project also included basic research into the application of modern control robustness theories to the MTDC power modulation control design methodology.
