An improved VSG control strategy based on transient electromagnetic power compensation

Abstract

Abstract Virtual synchronous generator (VSG) not only increases the inertia of grid-connected system, but also brings the problem of active power oscillation under grid disturbance. Therefore, VSG control strategy and system model order reduction method with transient electromagnetic power compensation are proposed. The closed-loop active power small signal model of the system is established, and the influence of transient electromagnetic power compensation on the power stability of VSG is analyzed based on root locus method. By removing the items which have little influence on the stability of the system in the small signal model, the order is reduced to obtain the equivalent second-order model of the system. According to the second-order model, the quantitative design criteria of the system parameters are given. The proposed transient electromagnetic power compensation strategy not only increases the transient equivalent damping of the system, but also does not affect the primary frequency modulation characteristics and will not cause large overshoot of the output active power. The experimental results are consistent with the theoretical analysis, which testify the effectiveness and correctness of the system control strategy and the model reduction method.
