Active Resonance Suppression Strategy for Hybrid Multi-Infeed HVDC Receiving-End Grid with LCC and MMC

As renewable energy is increasingly integrated via high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, hybrid multi-infeed receiving-end grids containing both line-commutated converters (LCC) and modular multilevel converters (MMC) have become common, and wideband resonance problems in power-electronized networks are growing more prominent. This paper proposes an active resonance analysis and suppression strategy for such systems. First, a wideband current source converter model and a wideband voltage source converter model are adopted to describe the LCC and MMC, respectively, and a positive-sequence s-domain model of the system is established. A two-stage s-domain nodal admittance matrix method is then applied to efficiently determine the wideband resonance modes and the corresponding mode shape eigenvectors. A dual criterion combining the matching degree between resonance frequencies and LCC characteristic harmonics with the modal damping ratio identifies high-risk resonance modes. On this basis, an active damping strategy that realizes a parallel virtual resistance on the AC side through MMC supplementary control is proposed, together with a quantitative design method for the virtual conductance. At the control implementation level, a modulation wave reconstruction bypass injection scheme superimposes the high-frequency damping command directly in the αβ stationary reference frame, thereby bypassing the PI controller and reducing the amplitude attenuation and phase distortion caused by the high-frequency limitation of the integral path. PSCAD/EMTDC simulation results on an IEEE 9-bus test system demonstrate that the proposed strategy effectively suppresses resonance amplification and wideband power oscillations excited by LCC characteristic harmonics without affecting the fundamental power transmission.
