A Complex-Coefficient Voltage Control for Virtual Synchronous Generators for Dynamic Enhancement and Power-Voltage Decoupling
Abstract
As electric power systems evolve towards decarbonization, the transition to inverter-based resources (IBRs) presents challenges to grid stability, necessitating innovative control solutions. Virtual synchronous generator (VSG) emerges as a prominent solution. However, conventional VSGs are prone to instability in strong grids, slow voltage regulation, and coupled power-voltage response. To address these issues, this paper introduces an advanced VSG control strategy. A novel analysis of the VSG control dynamics is presented through a second-order closed-loop complex single-input single-output system, employing a vectorized geometrical pole analysis technique for enhanced voltage stability and dynamics. The proposed comprehensive controller design mitigates issues related to control interacted subsynchronous resonance and dq 3φ transformation-induced voltage-coupled power transients, achieving improved system robustness and simplified control tuning. Key contributions include a two-fold design: optimized voltage transition characteristics through direct pole placement and transient power overshoot correction via a compensator. Validated by simulation and experiments, the findings offer a pragmatic solution for integrating VSG technology into decarbonizing power systems, ensuring reliability and efficiency.
