The importance of the auxiliary control of power electronic devices such as HVDC and FACTs is growing owing to the increase in the generation capacity of renewable energy sources. This paper presents a temporary frequency support strategy using the electrostatic energy in voltage-sourced converter type high-voltage direct current systems. An analytical derivation for selecting the optimal droop constant to improve the frequency nadir was established. The optimal droop constant was derived via system frequency response analysis by using the support termination time. Furthermore, the optimality of the support was computed using numerical equations. Modified outer control loops were implemented in the master controller to utilize the proposed method in voltage-sourced converter control. The effect of the fast frequency support control strategy was verified via a time-domain electromagnetic transient program simulation based on case studies. To examine the practical applicability of the proposed strategy, the parameter robustness was investigated by performing deviated system parameter simulations. The results validated the proposed strategy.
