Power decoupling control of paralleled virtual synchronous generators based on virtual complex impedance

With the high ratio of distributed generation (DG) linked to power system via converters, power system stability is degraded in terms of inertia and damping. In recent years, the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) has become a potential solving method to deal with these issues. However, the power coupling problem exists in the traditional VSG control method, which severely impacts the VSG power control performance. The impedance characteristics of the transmission line are closely related to the effect of the power decoupling control of VSGs. To solve the voltage sag and poor robustness issues resulting from traditional virtual impedance control, a virtual complex impedance power decoupling and sharing control strategy for VSGs based on coordinate transformation is proposed. Combining the characteristics of traditional virtual impedance control and virtual power control, the power coupling mechanism in parallel VSGs caused by line impedance is analyzed. The virtual complex impedance control loop is introduced in VSG control to realize the matching of the equivalent line impedance and the precise decoupling of VSG power output. Then the load can be accurately allocated in the light of the proportion of VSG capacity.
