Virtual inertia control is considered as an important part of microgrids with high renewable penetration. Virtual inertia emulation based on the derivative of frequency is one of the effective methods for improving system inertia and maintaining frequency stability. However, in this method, the ability to provide virtual damping is usually neglected in its design, and hence, its performance might be insufficient in the system with low damping. Confronted with this issue, this paper proposes a novel design and analysis of virtual inertia control to imitate damping and inertia properties simultaneously to the microgrid, enhancing frequency performance and stability. The proposed virtual inertia control uses the derivative technique to calculate the derivative of frequency for virtual inertia emulation. Trajectory sensitivities have been performed to analyze the dynamic impacts of the virtual inertia and virtual damping variables over the system performance. Time-domain simulations are also presented to evaluate the efficiency of the virtual damping and virtual inertia in enhancing system frequency stability. Finally, the efficiency and robustness of the proposed control technique are compared with the conventional inertia control under a wide range of system operation, including the decrease in system damping and inertia and high integrations of load variation and renewable energy.
