In the context of larger renewable energy harnessing, combining offshore wind farm (OWF) and marine current farm (MCF) at the same location is often found suitable in terms of geographical conditions and economic reasons. However, stochastic nature of wind speed and marine current speed with increased penetration level significantly affects the system stability, grid voltage and raises some control and stability problem; furthermore, the parametric uncertainty of generators brings additional challenges under grid voltage distortion. Therefore, in this article, we present a consolidated application of STATCOM and BFCL in the context of stability assessment of integrated system. Consequently, a robust H∞ loop-shaping controller has been proposed in the presence of parametric uncertainties. In this context, optimizing controller performance with respect to the undesired parametric uncertainties and external disturbances has been proposed. The control effort is initiated by formulating the robust H∞ loop-shaping controller in the context of evaluating the controller parameters and gain with respect to desired robust stability margin. The efficacy of the proposed control scheme is measured through different case studies in real time digital simulation (RTDS) environment. The comparative analysis of simulation results demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in the context of integrated system stability and reliability.
