Abstract

Active power oscillation (APO) issues may arise during the deployment of multiple parallel converters with Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) control in Microgrids. To that end, the equivalent circuit models of a converter with VSG control are proposed, which intuitively reveals the root cause of APOs. Accordingly, a graph-theory-based virtual impedance is introduced to harmonize parameters among involved VSGs, effectively eliminating APOs. Simulation and experimental results verify the improvements of the proposed control.
