With the continuous proliferation of renewable energy generation, distributed photovoltaic inverters operating at a maximum power point reduce the inertia of power systems, degrading system frequency stability and potentially causing severe oscillations in systems after being disturbed. The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control method, which causes photovoltaic inverters to possess inertia and damping, now plays an important role in the field of distributed generation. However, while introducing the advantages of synchronous machines, problems with oscillations are also introduced and the stochastic fluctuation characteristic of photovoltaics results in the stochastic drifting of the operating point. This paper presents an adaptive controller parameter design method for a photovoltaic-VSG (PV-VSG) integrated power system. Firstly, a small-signal model of the PV-VSG is built and a state space model is deduced. Then, the small-signal stability and low frequency oscillation characteristics of the photovoltaic power generation system are analyzed. Finally, considering the limitations of system oscillations and the stochastic drifting of the operating point, a global optimization design method for controller parameters used to improve system stability is proposed. The time domain simulation shows that an optimized PV-VSG could provide sufficient damping in the case of photovoltaic power output changes across a wider range.

In this article, a hybrid technique is proposed for improving the transient and small signal response in micro grid using virtual inertia. The proposed hybrid technique is the combined execution of both the emperor penguin optimizer (EPO) and butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA), and hence it is called EPOBOA technique. The major objective of the EPOBOA technique is to “optimize the control parameters to regulate the changes occurred in the grid parameter such as voltage and frequency based on the variations of inertia”. Here, the EPO is executed to modify the parameters of virtual synchronous generator units to achieve the objective function. The searching behaviour of the EPO is adapted by using the hunting behaviour of BOA. The proposed technique is executed in MATLAB/Simulink work site, and the experimental results are analyzed under three test cases: normal condition, irradiation change condition, and load change condition. The performance of the proposed technique is compared with different existing techniques and the calculated frequency deviation index of the proposed technique in all the cases is 0.0051, 0.0045, and 0.0047 and found to be very optimal compared with existing methods. Overall, the experimental outcomes show that the proposed EPOBOA method is more efficient and confirm its ability to solve the issues.

Identification and control are important problems of power system based on ambient signals. In order to avoid the model error influence of the controller design, a new iterative identification and control method is proposed in this paper. This method can solve model set and controller design of closed-loop power system. First, an uncertain model of power system is established. Then, according to the stability margin of power system, stability theorem is put forward. And then controller design method and the whole algorithm procedure are given. Simulation results show the effective performance of the proposed method based on the four-machine-two-region system.

This study constructs a novel virtual synchronous generator system based on a transfer function, and optimizes the parameters of the model by using the improved whale algorithm to improve the frequency control ability of virtual synchronous generator. Virtual synchronous generator technology helps to solve the problem that the integration of large-scale renewable energy generation into the power system leads to the deterioration of system frequency stability. It can maintain the symmetry of grid-connected scale and system stability. The virtual synchronous generator technology makes the inverter to have the inertia and damping characteristics of a synchronous generator. The inverter has the inertia characteristics and damps to reduce the frequency instability of high penetration renewable energy power system. The improved whale algorithm is efficient to find the best combination of control parameters and the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by microgrid and power system. The results show that the proposed frequency coordination control scheme suppresses the frequency deviation of power system and keep the system frequency in a reasonable range.

Abstract With people’s attention to environmental protection, clean energy has become an important research and development direction. Among them, photovoltaic power generation has many advantages, such as simple process, no fuel consumption, no noise, no pollution and so on. The power grid capacity is becoming larger and larger, and has a great impact on the environment. Therefore, the grid connection of photovoltaic power generation will cause major problems for the planning, operation and dispatching of power grid. Virtual synchronous generator (hereinafter referred to as VSG) technology can simulate the inertia, primary frequency regulation and voltage regulation characteristics of synchronous generator, which has become an important way to improve the dynamic frequency response ability of the system. Therefore, VSG technology has become an important research technology of photovoltaic grid connected system, among which FM method will also become an important research direction. Firstly, this paper analyzes the VSG algorithm and its basic characteristics. Finally, this paper analyzes the control scheme of overall primary frequency regulation of photovoltaic power station (hereinafter referred to as PPS).
