The continuous increase in wind power penetration level brings new requirements for wind turbine integration into the network. The grid code requires that after clearance of an external short-circuit fault, grid-connected wind turbines should restore their normal operation without power loss caused by disconnections. This paper presents a transient performance study of an offshore wind farm with HVDC transmission for grid connection, where the wind turbines in the offshore wind farm are also connected with dc collection network. A power-reduction control strategy (PRCS) for transient performance improvement is proposed for the offshore wind farm that allows it to withstand severe voltage dips. A simulation model of a 400 MW offshore wind farm developed in PSCAD/EMTDC is presented. The transient performance of the offshore wind farm is studied, and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
