Low-inertia power grids could suffer from large frequency excursions under even small power disturbances. When a voltage source converter-based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) system is used to integrate a low-inertia grid into a main grid, an ancillary frequency support service can be provided to the low-inertia grid by the VSC-HVDC system. This paper proposes a perturbation observer-based fast frequency support controller (POFFS) of VSC-HVDC systems to improve the frequency stability of low-inertia power grids. According to the feedback linearization and the high gain observer techniq...
