This paper outlines reduced-order models for grid-forming virtual-oscillator-controlled inverters with nested current- and voltage-control loops, and current-limiting action for over-current protection. While a variety of model-reduction methods have been proposed to tame complexity in inverter models, previous efforts have not included the impact of current-reference limiting. In addition to acknowledging the current-limiting action, the reduced-order models we outline are tailored to networks with resistive and inductive interconnecting lines. Our analytical approach is centered on a smooth function approximation for the current-reference limiter, participation factor analysis to identify slow- and fast-varying states, and singular perturbation to systematically eliminate the fast states. Computational benefits and accuracy of the reduced-order models are benchmarked via numerical simulations that compare them to higher-order averaged and switched models.

Autonomous droop control PV inverters have improved voltage regulation compared to the inverters without grid support functions, but more flexible control techniques will be required as the number of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations increases. T his paper studies three inverter future deployment scenarios with droop control inverters, non-exporting inverters, and coordinated inverter control (CIC). The network operation and the interaction between various inverter control methods are studied by simulating inverter operation on two low-voltage networks. Considering 30% PV penetration as the base case, we demonstrate that coordinated inverters can mitigate overvoltages and voltage fluctuations caused by the tripping of passive inverters in 85% of PV location cases when at least as many coordinated as passive inverters are deployed on the 114-node test feeder. However, this rate reduced to 37% with the IEEE 906-node network demonstrating that the deployment of coordinated inverter control may not be able to reverse passive inverter-related voltage disturbances when the build-up of passive inverters has reached a certain threshold. The aggregated PV output from coordinated inverters can be also used to provide grid support services. When the low-voltage networks operate close to the upper voltage limits, the change in the power output from coordinated inverters following a regulation request may be partially offset by passive inverters. Considering an equal number of passive and coordinated inverters, this paper shows that for each unit of the down-regulation request delivered by coordinated inverters, passive inverter output may increase by up to 0.2 units and decrease by up to 0.45 units during coordinated inverter up-regulation.
With the increasing impact of low inertia due to the high penetration of distributed generation, virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology has been proposed to improve the stability of the inverter-interfaced distributed generator by providing v irtual inertia. This paper presents a recent review of virtual inertia control covering significance, features, design principles, and state-of-art inertia strategies from both physical and mathematical perspectives to facilitate the wide application of the VSG. The definition and source of virtual inertia are given to help researchers to establish the concept of virtual inertia. Then, this paper covers influencing mechanism studies of virtual inertia to reveal its functions. Also, a design framework of the virtual inertia is established by considering both the characteristics of the control system and the limitation of energy storage systems and renewable energy resources. Finally, several novel adaptive inertia control strategies are reviewed, and some aspects of potential future research are recommended.
The uncertainty in distributed renewable generation poses security threats to the real-time operation of distribution systems. The real-time dispatchable region (RTDR) can be used to assess the ability of power systems to accommodate renewable genera tion at a given base point. DC and linearized AC power flow models are typically used for bulk power systems, but they are not suitable for low-voltage distribution networks with large r/x ratios. To balance accuracy and computational efficiency, this paper proposes an RTDR model of AC distribution networks using tight convex relaxation. Convex hull relaxation is adopted to reformulate the AC power flow equations, and the convex hull is approximated by a polyhedron without much loss of accuracy. Furthermore, an efficient adaptive constraint generation algorithm is employed to construct an approximate RTDR to meet the requirements of real-time dispatch. Case studies on the modified IEEE 33-bus distribution system validate the computational efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
The virtual synchronous generator technology analogs the characteristics of the synchronous generator via the controller design. It improved the stability of the grid systems which include the new energy. At the same time, according to the adjustable characteristics of the virtual synchronous generator parameters, the parameter adaptive adjustment is used to improve the dynamic performance of the system. However, the traditional virtual synchronous generator adaptive control technology still has two drawbacks: on the one hand, the large-scale adjustment of the damping droop coefficient and the virtual moment of inertia requires the system having a high energy storage margin; On the other hand, there is a power overshoot phenomenon in the transient regulation process, which is disadvantageous to the power equipment. First, this paper provides a convenient adjustment method for improving the transient stability of the system, the system damping is adjusted by introducing the output speed feedback. Second, according to the transient power-angle characteristics of the system, a parameter adaptive control strategy is proposed, which shortens the transient adjustment time and ensures that the deviation of the system frequency in the transient adjustment process is within the allowable range, and improves the transient performance of the grid frequency adjustment, at the same time, the power overshoot is suppressed. Finally, the experimental results show that the proposed control strategy is superior to the existing adaptive control strategy.
Power electronic converters for integrating renewable energy resources into power systems can be divided into grid-forming and grid-following inverters. They possess certain similarities, but several important differences, which means that the relati onship between them is quite subtle and sometimes obscure. In this article, a new perspective based on duality is proposed to create new insights. It successfully unifies the grid interfacing and synchronization characteristics of the two inverter types in a symmetric, elegant, and technology-neutral form. Analysis shows that the grid-forming and grid-following inverters are duals of each other in several ways including a) synchronization controllers: frequency droop control and phase-locked loop (PLL); b) grid-interfacing characteristics: current-following voltage-forming and voltage-following current-forming; c) swing characteristics: current-angle swing and voltage-angle swing; d) inner-loop controllers: output impedance shaping and output admittance shaping; and e) grid strength compatibility: strong-grid instability and weak-grid instability. The swing equations are also derived in dual form for two inverter types, which reveal the dynamic interaction between the grid strength, the synchronization controllers, and the inner-loop controllers. Insights are generated into cases of poor stability. The theoretical analysis and time-domain simulation results are used to illustrate cases of instability for simple single-inverter-infinite-bus systems and a multi-inverter power network.
