An Active Power Dynamic Oscillation Damping Method for the Grid-Forming Virtual Synchronous Generator Based on Energy Reshaping Mechanism

The grid-forming virtual synchronous generator (GFVSG) with large virtual inertia can provide a friendly grid-connected operational mode for power electronic converters, but it may also introduce the active power dynamic oscillation problems similar to traditional synchronous generators. In view of this, the dynamic equivalent circuit model of the GFVSG grid-tied active power-angle is established firstly, and, then, the understanding of the GFVSG active power oscillations under variable disturbances is revealed from the perspective of circuit energy flow in this paper. On this basis, an active power dynamic oscillation damping method based on an energy reshaping mechanism for the GFVSG is proposed, and a parameter design method using the second-order equivalent reduced-order control model is given. The MATLAB 2016a simulation as well as experimental test platforms of a 100 kV·A GFVSG grid-connected system are established, then, both the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed active power dynamic oscillation damping method are verified by using the simulation and experimental comparison results

Analysis and Optimization Strategy of Active Power Dynamic Response for VSG under a Weak Grid

A virtual synchronous generator (VSG) has a good adaptability to the weak grid but its grid-connected active power (GCAP) has the problem of a slow dynamic response under the active power command step. An optimization strategy of the GCAP dynamic response for the VSG based on the virtual negative impedance combined with the active power transient damping control algorithm is proposed in this paper. The optimization strategy first uses the virtual negative impedance control method to reduce the VSG equivalent output impedance and the GCAP dynamic response time of the VSG. Then, the transient damping as well as the inhibition ability of the GCAP dynamic oscillation for the VSG are enhanced by the active power transient damping control algorithm. The Matlab/Simulink simulation software is used to study the GCAP dynamic response performances of the VSG in the condition of the active power command step, and the experimental test platform of a VSG grid-connected system is established. The simulation and experimental results jointly verify the feasibility and superiority of the proposed strategy in improving the GCAP dynamic response characteristics of the VSG under a weak grid
