Low Frequency Oscillation Suppression Strategy in New Power System Based on Virtual Synchronous Generator

Abstract With the blend of massive new energy into power network systems, the inertia and damping features of new power systems are reduced, which is prone to cause low-frequency oscillations (LFO) in the power systems. Virtual synchronous generators (VSG) have received widespread attention by simulating the external characteristics of synchronous generators (SG) to enhance the inertia of new power systems and help suppress low-frequency oscillations. By analyzing the mathematical model of VSG, the control links of each part of VSG are established, the traditional reactive power-voltage ( Q-V ) of VSG is improved, and the formulas of active voltage control and reactive power control droop coefficient are deduced. Finally, a simulation model of VSG is created by MATLAB/Simulink platform, and new methods for suppressing LFO in power systems are compared and analyzed. The correctness of the formula and the improvement effect of reactive power and voltage control are verified.
