Description
Summary:The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control has been widely used in grid-connected inverter to effectively increase the equivalent inertia of power system. However, the active power oscillation similar to electromechanical transient characteristics of conventional synchronous generator (SG) is introduced to power grid, especially under the condition of multi-virtual synchronizer. In this paper, the dynamic stability of the multiple grid-connected voltage source converters (VSC) controlled by VSG is studied. Firstly, the system linearization model is established to analyze the oscillation risk. In order to improve the damping characteristics of multi-VSG grid-connected systems, an additional power system stabilizer (PSS) method is proposed. Then considering the influence of controller installation location and control parameters on the dynamic stability of the system, the design methods of multi-VSG damping controller based on residue index and hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm are proposed respectively. Finally, the effectiveness of the damping controller design method is verified through the simulation and test cases of the multi-VSG grid-connected system.
