This paper proposes a transient stability enhancement strategy for islanded microgrids based on the control of energy storage system (ESS) and virtual synchronous generator (VSG). The strategy includes dynamic correction of active power reference value using model predictive control (MPC) and fast dynamic response of reactive power command value using PI control. The ESS regulates frequency and voltage simultaneously based on the power reference value and command value of VSG. A comprehensive current-limiting technique is used to ensure the stability of VSG during transients.
In a high percentage of new energy-islanded microgrids, the overall inertia of the system gradually decreases, and the transient stability requirements of the microgrid frequency and voltage become more and more demanding under low-inertia conditions. To improve the transient stability of low-inertia islanded microgrid frequencies and voltages, this paper proposes a transient stability enhancement strategy for islanded microgrids based on energy storage system (ESS)-virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control. Model predictive control (MPC) is added within the active control loop of the VSG to achieve dynamic correction of the active power reference value of the VSG; PI control link is added within the reactive control loop to achieve a fast dynamic response of the reactive power command value. The ESS achieves fast and accurate regulation of frequency and voltage according to the power reference value of the VSG active control loop and the power command value of the reactive control loop simultaneously. Considering the need to ensure the ability of VSG to operate stably during transients, a comprehensive current-limiting technique combining virtual impedance and phase limiting is used to limit the fault current of VSG and maintain its synchronization and stability. Finally, the simulation results verify the strategy's effectiveness and the superiority of the transient stability enhancement effect.
