This paper presents the stability analysis results of a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) connected to a multi-machine power system (MMPS) via a three-terminal high-voltage direct current (3T-HVDC) link based on a modular multilevel converter (MMC). The HRES includes an offshore wind farm (OWF) based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) and a photovoltaic (PV) plant, each interfaced through the MMC-based 3T-HVDC link. Three control strategies— grid-following (GFL), grid-forming (GFM), and GFM with particle swarm optimization (PSO-GFL)—are proposed to address inertia and parameter sensitivity. Their performance is assessed via steady-state, small-signal, and dynamic simulations under various operating scenarios.
