Summary
The need to transform the energy infrastructure is evident globally. It is imperative to design for decarbonization, greater resiliency, and sustainability for meeting the electrical energy needs of the world. One approach in North America is to tap into the abundant wind and solar resources in the Midwest of North America by building Large Renewable Generation Hubs

This presents a significant technical challenge in efficiently, and effectively, bringing gigawatts of renewable generation from such a LRGH to the load centers. The most suitable technology for such an endeavor is multiterminal HVDC since it both reduces the overall losses in the transmission system and provides much more flexibility in controls. One of the key challenges with such systems is in the overall dynamic control of the LRGH. Many LRGH that are being developed also have an ac tie-line(s) to the rest of the interconnected ac-grid. Thus, the combined control of the multiple inverterbased resource (IBR) power plants, together with reactive compensation and the HVDC converter station, present a complex technical challenge. This paper explores this technical challenge and presents a possible solution through systematic design of a multi-layered control of the entire LRGH.
