Abstract

The virtual impedance solution effectively addresses the power coupling issues and improves small-signal stability in grid-connected Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) systems but can deteriorate the system's transient synchronous stability, particularly in high-voltage lines with significant line inductance exacerbating this effect. To address these contradictions, the paper first analyzes the power coupling mechanisms of the system, highlighting how the line reactance ratio (R/X) and power angle (δ) affect system stability, and describes the transient stability of VSGs using the equal area criterion. Leveraging the advantages of quasi-Z-source inverters, they are applied to VSG grid-connected systems, proposing an improved VSG control strategy tailored for quasi-Z-source photovoltaic grid-connected systems. This strategy introduces virtual active power at the point of common coupling (PCC) and uses it as power feedback in the control loop, instead of using real active power. The control model is validated on an experimental platform, demonstrating that the VSG control strategy with transient power compensation significantly enhances system transient stability while preserving small-signal stability. This comprehensive approach bridges the gap between maintaining essential stability functions and enhancing dynamic performance under various operational conditions.
