Large-scale renewable energy integration and consequent displacement of synchronous machines result in low system inertia. Low inertia leads to high rate change frequency, higher frequency nadir, potentially require primary reserve stabilise following a sudden generation shortfall. To address such stability issue wind integrated system, this paper has proposed new realistic control strategy for inertial support from HVDC connected Offshore Wind Farms (OWF).
