Sumario:High-voltage direct current breaker is among the essential components of high-voltage direct current grids. Such a breaker generally needs a direct current reactor to reduce the fault currents rate. However, direct current reactors have destructive effects on the multi terminal high-voltage direct current grid dynamic stability, and in such a system, despite the variety of controllers, the system dynamics are highly sensitive to the operating point. Therefore, additional damping control will be needed. This paper proposes a modification to be applied to the traditional droop controller of high-voltage direct current grids to cope with the influence of these large reactors, improving the direct voltage stability and decreas ing power variations in the transient events by introducing a direct current power system stabilizer. The proposed method for direct voltage control has been investigated through the analytical model of the system. Stability improvement has been studied following the application of the proposed method by investigating zeros, poles, and frequency response analysis. Moreover, a method is proposed for optimal design and optimal placement of direct current power system stabilizer. The system analysis and time-domain simulations demonstrate a decent damping improvement attained by the proposed method. All simu lations and analytical studies are conducted on Cigré DCS3 test high-voltage direct current grid in MATLAB/Simulink
