Recently, the modular multi-level converter (MMC) based HVDC has become a popular method for integrating offshore wind and other renewable sources into the AC grid. Several studies have reported the possible use of MMC-HVDC to enhance grid strength. However, the control concept, parameterization, and the non-linearity related to fault-ride through behavior of MMC-HVDC greatly affects the dynamics of the host AC system. With the increasing number of HVDC and the stochastic behavior of current power systems, it is essential to comprehensively assess the impact of various control concepts of HVDC and control parametrization on the AC system. An equivalent and modified model of the Great British system has been used for this analysis with the enhanced reactive power and voltage control model. The various tuning and parameterization of the phase-locked loop control system are considered. The simulations conducted using the DIgSILENT PowerFactory show the relations of the control parameterization with the rotor angle and the short-term voltage stability of the system.
