Power Oscillation Suppression of Multi-VSG Grid via Decentralized Mutual Damping Control

Virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control introduces active power oscillation especially under the condition of multi-VSG. This article proposes a decentralized mutual damping control method that suppresses power oscillation in the multi-VSG grid. The idea is that as the local frequency is greater than the frequency of the VSG other than itself, the input energy of the local VSG is reduced, and thus
dω_i/dt
increases. On the contrary, when the local frequency is less than others, the input energy is increased, and thus
dω_i/dt
decreases. In this way, all frequencies get close to each other in the dynamic process with the method. The idea is verified by the stability analysis. Participation factor analysis and sensitivity analysis are presented to guide parameter design. Finally, the effectiveness of the decentralized mutual damping method is verified through the simulation results and experimental results.
