An Improved Virtual Inertia Algorithm of Virtual Synchronous Generator

Virtual synchronous generator(VSG)simulates the first-order motion equation of a synchronous generator(SG)with the algorithm.VSG can improve the system voltage and frequency support capabilities of a microgrid or a weak grid.It is now widely applied at a high penetration level of distributed generation(DG)systems.However,because there is a contradiction between active power steady-state deviation of VSG and dynamic impact regulation,the VSG running in grid-connected mode with existing strategies cannot meet the steady and dynamic control requirements.Thus,an improved virtual inertial control strategy of VSG is proposed in this paper.The active power impact is reduced effectively under the circumstance of damping coefficient Dωequal to 0 and a large inertia,thus the dynamic characteristic of active power is improved and its steady-state characteristic is maintained.Firstly,based on the analysis of the damping coefficient effect on the system dynamic process,two forms of improved virtual inertia algorithms are put forward by cascading a differential link into different positions of the first-order virtual inertia forward channel.Then,by comparing the characteristics of the system with the two improved algorithms,the improved virtual inertial strategy based on differential compensation is proven to be better,and the design of its parameters is analyzed.Finally,simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Overview on Resonance Characteristics and Resonance Suppression Strategy of Multi-Parallel Photovoltaic Inverters

Photovoltaic(PV)inverters have been widely used in large-scale PV power generation systems to reduce the system mismatch and increase the output power.With the increasing installed capacity of PV power stations,the number of string PV inverters increases,which brings about risk of inverter resonance and influences the quality and stability of multi-parallel inverters grid-connected system.Thus,the problems of multi-parallel inverters resonance have become a hot research topic.This paper is focused on the case of grid-connected string PV inverter systems,and the grid-connected PV inverter resonance where resonance suppression strategy will be analyzed and discussed.Firstly,the structure of string PV inverter and multi-parallel inverters system are presented.Secondly,discussions are made about the model of multi-parallel inverters system and its resonance characteristics based on the multi-input-multi-output(MIMO)system,Norton equivalent circuit and carrier synchronization.Thirdly,two strategies of^inverter level"and"system level"are provided to summarize the multi-parallel inverters resonance suppression strategy.Finally,the development tendency of resonance suppression strategy and conclusions are prospected.
