Abstract: Commutation failures (CFs), which occur when current transfer between valves in line-commutated converter high-voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC) systems is disrupted, pose a challenge in weak alternating current (AC) networks. This paper introduces a coordinated control strategy that combines a fuzzy self-tuning proportional-integral (PI) controller (FSTPIC) and a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) device to mitigate CFs and enhance system stability. The approach applies the FSTPIC to both converters of the HVDC link, while the STATCOM at the inverter side delivers dynamic reactive power and voltage support during AC faults. We test this strategy on the CIGRE HVDC benchmark system using MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations. The results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly reduces CFs, mitigates transient oscillations, and shortens recovery time compared to conventional control techniques. This coordinated control boosts voltage stability and the system's ability to ride through faults, confirming its superiority under various fault scenarios in weak-grid conditions.
