Abstract: This paper proposes a multi-channel robust damping controller based on the static H∞ loop shaping method, specifically tailored for modular multilevel converter-based high-voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) systems with embedded energy storage. The controller is designed to suppress sub-synchronous oscillations, a critical issue in power systems. To optimize the controller’s performance, a genetic algorithm is employed to tune the weighting functions for robust control. Additionally, the TLS-ESPRIT (Total Least Squares–Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariance Techniques) identification algorithm is utilized to clarify the system oscillation characteristics, thereby enhancing the controller’s effectiveness. Simulation results demonstrate that the sub-synchronous oscillation controller, designed based on the proposed robust control algorithm, achieves satisfactory oscillation suppression effects under various disturbances, underscoring its robustness. This study highlights the potential of MMC-HVDC systems with embedded energy storage in mitigating power grid oscillations, contributing to the advancement of power system stability and reliability.
