Control of Stand-Alone Inverter using Virtual Synchronous Generator

This paper studies a control of an inverter to emulate a synchronous generator (SG), which has many benefits in terms of stability. These benefits can be used in the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) and are proven experimentally in the stand-alone mode. Theoretical analysis and designs of the VSG are presented and verified by simulation in Psim. The paper is completed with simulations results. Furthermore, a processor in the loop (PIL) test is implemented as an experimental test of the proposed method. It consists of implementing the generated code on the F28335 DSP board. The obtained results from the DSP board are similar to analogical simulation results.
