Stability analysis and control parameter optimization of multi-VSG parallel grid-connected system

Abstract

The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) is emerging as an attractive solution for controlling the grid-connected inverter when the renewable energy has a high penetration level into the grid. This study delves into the stability analysis and parameter optimization of multi-VSG parallel grid-connected systems. Consequently, a small-signal model (SSM) for the multi-VSG parallel grid-connected system is developed to facilitate system analysis. Utilizing this model, the feasible parameter regions are determined by applying the Routh-Hurwitz criterion, enabling the identification of key factors contributing to the system's oscillation mode. Subsequently, a time-domain model is employed to ascertain the dynamic feasible region index, which aids in delineating the scope of parameter optimization. Furthermore, the impact of deviation angle, damping, and eigenvalues on system stability is incorporated into the construction of the objective function. To optimize system parameters within the feasible region, the simulated annealing-particle swarm optimization algorithm (SA-PSO) is utilized. The effectiveness of the theoretical analysis and the proposed parameter optimization method is demonstrated through simulations.
