Inertia Emulation Control of VSC-HVDC Systems and Integrated Offshore Wind Farms

In recent years, growing concerns over climate change have driven a shift toward renewable energy, prompting significant changes in global energy systems aimed at achieving carbon neutrality. Consequently, conventional power generation systems using rotating electrical machines are being replaced by inverter-based resources. While these converters are designed to maximize energy extraction from renewables, they lack the inertia needed to support grid frequency, which may compromise system stability. Therefore, developing inertia emulation and fast-frequency response techniques is essential to ensure the stability of converter-driven power systems. This thesis provides a pathway to address such inertia issues in future power systems.
