This paper develops modeling and describes a control strategy for a modular multilevel converter (MMC) for grid-connected renewable energy systems. The proposed model can be used to simulate MMC activity during normal and faulty situations. Firstly, a dynamic model of a grid-connected MMC (GC-MMC), based upon the symmetrical component of voltages and currents, was designed. Then an adaptive robust control approach was established in order to follow the reference currents of the converter and stabilize the submodule (SM) capacitor voltage. The positive and negative sequences of reference currents that were given from the demanded active and reactive power during grid voltage disturbance and a normal situation were then utilized in control loops. Finally, the numerical results for the performance of the MMC throughout voltage sag conditions and the effect of uncertainties on the filter parameters during changing power demands were evaluated. The results specified that the current control strategy is more potent under voltage sag situations and able to fulfill the stability requirements of the MMC.

Wind turbines are required by gird codes that active and reactive power should be fed into power grid during gird faults such as voltage sags. Power output capability is important for DFIG wind turbine to provide active and reactive power support. Constraints of stator, rotor maximum current and maximum output voltage of rotor-side converter (RSC) of DFIG are considered to analyze stator power output limit of the DFIG under unbalanced voltage sags, and newton-raphson method is used to solve the power limits, then the power control strategy based on power limit analysis is proposed. Simulation, calculation and comparison are carried out by a 1.5MW DFIG wind turbine model, and the effectiveness of the analysis and the proposed control strategy is verified.
