Virtual inertia controllers (VICs) for wind turbine generators (WTGs) have been recently developed to compensate for the reduction of inertia in power systems. However, VICs can induce low-frequency torsional oscillations of the drive train of WTGs. This paper addresses this issue and develops a new nonlinear VIC based on objective holographic feedbacks theory. This approach allows transforming the objectives that require improvement into a completely controllable system of Brunovskys type. Simulation results under various scenarios demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing VICs in terms of suppression of WTG low-frequency drive-train torsional oscillations, enhancement of system frequency nadir as well as fast and smooth recovery of WTG rotor speed to the original MPP before the disturbance. The proposed method is also able to coordinate multiple WTGs.
