The strategy of control for high-voltage direct current system on voltage-source converter VSC-HVDC is based on an important element which is PI controller. Because of its simple structure and strong robustness in a wide range of serving conditions, it has been used in the control system in the last few years. Therefore, it is important for the VSC-HVDC system permanent regime to choose proper PI parameters. The use of conventional techniques to find suitable PI parameters creates a number of challenges for the system operators, because it is a difficult process and time consuming. In this paper, a new swarm intelligence algorithm called bacterial foraging optimization is introduced to find the optimal parameters of the PI controller. This approach offers great flexibility for the permanent regime recovery and improves the stability of the VSC-HVDC link compared to conventional techniques. The obtained …
