A systematic solution for millisecond-level power control in photovoltaic (PV) power stations is proposed to enable the new energy power output to rapid response to the balance of active and reactive power demands in the system. Firstly, utilizing the fast power exchange capability of the PV inverter, real-time voltage and current are collected at the grid connection point of the PV power station, and the frequency and voltage changes are monitored to calculate the active power output of the PV power station based on primary frequency regulation parameters. Based on this, the PV inverters are controlled in a group via a high-speed interconnection communication network to achieve primary frequency regulation capability. In terms of reactive power control, an intelligent multi-state sequence discrimination algorithm is employed to calculate the impedance of the grid connection point of the PV power station to the power system in real time. Based on the voltage fluctuation at the grid connection point, the PV in
