The subject of this paper is the experimental validation of a recently proposed advanced control scheme for Voltage Source Converters (VSC) based on Model Predictive Control (MPC). The main purpose of the investigated advanced controller is the frequency support from an AC grid to another after significant disturbance through HVDC Grid. The paper reports on the implementation methodology on a small-scale 3-terminal DC mock-up grid consisting of several physical low-scale VSCs, actual DC cables. These components are coupled with real-time simulation tools simulating the adjacent AC grids. The different steps for the validation process of the MPC strategy are illustrated, starting from offline simulation based on a model of the DC grid, up to the actual implementation of the controller in the mock-up of the DC grid.
