What is a VSG inverter?

Unlike traditional grid-tied inverters, which operate in voltage control mode, VSGs can provide inertia response and frequency regulation, essential for maintaining grid stability, according to Mohanty, Das, and Singh . VSGs enhance the grid’s ability to withstand power generation fluctuations and load variations.

What is grid-connected control of VSG with virtual impedance?

For this purpose, a strategy of grid-connected control of VSG with virtual impedance is proposed. Firstly, the VSG mathematical model is established and virtual impedance is introduced into the VSG electrical portion to improve the grid-connected inverter output characteristics.

Does VSG synchronize with the power grid?

The transient stability analysis has been conducted to guarantee synchronization between the VSG and the power grid, especially in the face of severe grid disturbances. Simultaneously, the reactive power has been increased with the proposed IV-VSG control to support the power grid voltage.

Why is VSG output voltage consistent with a large power grid?

It can be seen intuitively from Fig. 9 that the amplitude, phase and frequency of VSG output voltage have been consistent with that of the large power grid before the virtual synchronous generator is switched on and connected to the grid. At this time, the switching on and connected to the grid can realize the smooth operation of VSG.

How do VSGs improve grid stability?

The intermittent nature of wind and solar power poses significant challenges to grid stability, but VSGs mitigate these challenges by providing inertia and damping characteristics. This improves the grid’s resilience to disturbances and ensures reliable operation, even under dynamic conditions.

What is a VSG converter & how does it work?

As a converter, the VSG synchronizes with the grid frequency and voltage and adjusts its output power to match the grid’s requirements. It controls the AC output voltage and current to regulate the power flow and maintain system stability.
