    Abstract

    The increasing growth of dispersed generation not only changes the structure of the typical power system but also changes the way short and long term stability is handled due to lack of synchronous rotor inertia. The Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG), which is a device that emulates synchronous inertia, is proposed and studied as a potential solution. The major components of a VSG, as far as hardware is concerned, comprise an energy storage and a power processor. This paper suggests a control algorithm for the power processor that enables multiple VSG units with different specifications to coexist and to provide for short and longer term frequency stability.
