This article reviews the renewable energy systems emulators proposals for microgrid laboratory testing platforms. Four emulation conceptual levels are identified based on the literature analysis performed. Each of these levels is explained through a microgrid example, detailing its features and possibilities. Finally, an experimental microgrid, built based on emulators, is presented to exemplify the system performance.

“…The evaluation of this scheme can be found in [16,22,25 among other references. In particular, an experimental implementation in a scale multi-terminal grid is presented in [26]. The main drawback of droop control schemes is the difficulties to ensure a desired power flow as the sharing is governed by the DC voltage errors at each terminal [27].…”

“…In [67], three options for operating under faulty conditions are proposed: the use of communications to control the power generated, the modulation of the wind farm frequency, and the use of a DC damping resistor. Implementation aspects are further analysed in [26], in which the droop control in multi-terminal grids is studied in a scaled experimental platform where both normal and converter disconnections are studied.…”

More interconnections among countries and synchronous areas are foreseen in order to fulfil the EU 2050 Target on the renewable generation share. One proposal to accomplish this challenging objective is the development of the socalled European SuperGrid. Multi-terminal HVDC networks are emerging as the most promising technologies to develop such a concept. Moreover, multiterminal HVDC grids are based on highly controllable devices, which may allow not only transmitting power, but also supporting the AC grids to ensure a secure and stable operation. This article aims to present an overview of different control schemes for multi-terminal HVDC grids, including the control of the power converters and the controls for power sharing and the provision of ancillary services. The article also analyses the proposed modifications of the existing control schemes to manage high participation shares of wind power generation in multi-terminal grids.

“…• Advantages : Black start capability [19], no requirement for reactive power compensation, more compact and lighter compared to LCC, no need for harmonic filter, can be operated in both capacitive or inductive modes [20], [21], VSC valves are independent of the zero crossings of the current and balanced operation of the linked AC system, ability to control the negative sequence current injection in the offshore wind power plant [22], shorter design and installation times [15], using IGBT switches enables the VSC-HVDC scheme to be switched on and off at higher rate [23] and needs no external voltage source for commutation [24].…”
