Descripción
Sumario:Grid-connected converters with primary frequency control and inertia emulation have emerged and are promising for future renewable generation plants because of the contribution in power system stabilization. This paper gives a synchronous active power control solution for grid-connected converters. As design considerations, the virtual angle stability and transient response are both analyzed, and the detailed implementation structure is also given without entailing any difficulty in practice. The analysis and validation of frequency support characteristics are particularly addressed. The 10 kW simulation and experimental frequency sweep tests on a regenerative source test bed present good performance of the proposed control in terms of showing inertia and droop characteristics, and the controllable transient response is also demonstrated.
