Abstract
The load-side virtual synchronous machine (LVSM) enables the load to actively participate in the grid regulation, but it might still induce oscillations in a weak grid. Considering the dc-link voltage controller, power loops, ac voltage and current loops, the control delay, and sampling filters, the wideband dq-frame impedance model of the LVSM is first established, and it is found that Z <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dd</sub> exhibits negative resistor impedance within 10 Hz. In addition, the dq-frame impedance of the LVSM is approximately inductive above 10 Hz. Then, using the dq-frame impedance-based approach, the comparative study shows that the smaller the proportional gain and integral gain of the dc-link voltage controller are, the more stable the conventional voltage source rectifier (VSR) is in a weak grid. However, the larger the proportional gain is, the smaller the integral gain is, the more stable the LVSM is in a weak grid. Furthermore, the voltage feedforward decreases the stability margin of the VSR in a weak grid, while the virtual moment of inertia J and the damping gain D <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p</sub> affect the stability of the LVSM, and the smaller J and D <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p</sub> are, the more stable the LVSM is in weak grid. Finally, simulations and experimental results verify the impedance model and the stability analysis.
