Shrnutí:This scientific paper aims to increase the voltage source converter (VSC) control efficiency in a multi-terminal high voltage direct current (MTDC) network during dynamic operations. In the proposed study, the Mayfly algorithm (MA) is used to modify the control parameters of VSC stations. Traditional strategies that modify VSC control settings using approximate linear models fail to produce optimal results because VSCs are nonlinear characteristics of the MTDC system. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) may produce optimal outcomes, but it is prone to becoming stuck in a local optimum. To modify the proportional-integral (P.I.) control parameters of the VSC station, the Mayfly algorithm, a modified form of PSO, is used. The suggested algorithm’s objective function simultaneously optimizes both the outer and inner control layers. A four-terminal MTDC test system is developed in PSCAD/EMTDC to assess the benefits of the proposed algorithm. For VSCs, a comparison of classical, PSO, and proposed MA-based tuned parameters is carried out. The integral of time multiplied by absolute error (ITAE) criterion is used to compare the performance of classical, PSO, and a proposed algorithm for VSC controller parameters/gains. With an ITAE value of 6.8521 × 10−6, the MA-based proposed algorithm computes the optimal values and outperforms its predecessor to adjust the VSCs controller gains. For (i) wind farm power variation, (ii) AC grid load demand variation, and (iii) ultimate permanent VSC disconnection, steady-state and dynamic performances are evaluated. According to the results, the proposed algorithm based MTDC system performs well during transients.
