Secondary frequency regulation scheme based on improved virtual synchronous generator in an islanded microgrid

Abstract

To aim at the defects of the traditional VSG (virtual synchronous generator) control schemes to only complete the primary frequency regulation equivalent to droop control, and not to realize the secondary frequency regulation, this paper proposes a new control scheme to realize the secondary frequency regulation of the VSG, such that system frequency can return to the rated value. In this method, the torque change process of the rotor of synchronous generator is firstly analyzed when the system active power fluctuates. And then, a novel secondary frequency regulation control strategy of the VSG is proposed, where the small-signal model of power transmission of the VSG is established and transfer function is analyzed, and parameters design and stability analysis of the control system are conducted. Finally, simulation experiments show the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.
