In this paper, a novel model-free wide-area damping control (WADC) method is proposed, which can achieve full decoupling of modes and damp multiple critical inter-area oscillations simultaneously using grid-connected voltage source converters (VSCs). The proposed method is purely measurement based and requires no knowledge of the network topology and the dynamic model parameters. Hence, the designed controller using VSCs can update the control signals online as the system operating condition varies. Numerical studies in the modified IEEE 68-bus system with grid-connected VSCs show that the proposed method can estimate the system dynamic model accurately and can damp inter-area oscillations effectively under different working conditions and network topologies.
