Summary: | The concept of the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) is emerging as an attractive solution for controlling the grid-connected inverter when the renewable energy has a high penetration level into the grid. This paper focuses on the small-signal modeling and parameters design of the power loop of the VSG, and points out that the bandwidth of the power loop should be far less than twice the line frequency for the purpose of avoiding the VSG output voltage to be severely distorted. Consequently, the line-frequency-averaged small-signal model of the VSG is derived for system analysis and parameters design. Based on the model, the decoupling conditions between the active power loops (APLs) and the reactive power loops (RPLs) of the VSG are given. Finally, a step-by-step parameters design method is proposed to facilitate the design of the control parameters of the VSG. A 10-kVA prototype is built and tested in the laboratory, and the experimental results are given to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis and the proposed parameters design method. |
