Transient Stability Analysis and Enhancement of Virtual Synchronous Generator with Current Limiter

The modern power system exhibits a double high characteristic, where the physical structure and control strategies of power electronic devices have altered the stability characteristics of the modern power system. This paper investigates the transient instability issue faced by virtual synchronous generators (VSG) equipped with a current limiter during grid faults. Firstly, the transient stability model of the VSG is established. Then, the equal-area criterion (EAC) is employed to reveal the mechanism of transient instability in VSG and elucidate the influence of the current limiter on the transient stability of VSG. Based on this analysis, current angle configuration methods are further proposed to enhance the transient stability of VSG. Finally, the correctness of the mechanism analysis and proposed methods is validated through simulation.
