In wind power transmission via modular multilevel converter based high voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) systems, under traditional control strategies, MMC-HVDC cannot provide inertia support to the receiving-end grid (REG) during disturbances. . The energy storage unit is connected to the sub-module of the modular multilevel converter through the DC/DC link, which can effectively reduce the voltage-level requirements of the energy storage unit, and the energy storage capacity can be flexibly configured by changing the number of energy. . In this context, the integration of modular multilevel converters (MMCs) with energy storage (ES) systems has led to the development of the MMC with embedded energy storage systems (ES-MMC), which combines the advantages of both the MMC and the ES system. Moreover, due to the frequency decoupling between the. . Traditional power grids relied on the physical inertia of large, spinning generators in conventional power plants to keep the system balanced. Utility-scale PV plants, which use inverters to convert DC power to AC, do not inherently possess this stabilizing quality. It can buffer transient power fluctuations and synchronize autonomously with the grid. Then the impedance characteristics of the proposed. .
