Abstract
Renewable energy sources are increasing their penetration in power systems, making necessary new control systems that offer services usually provided only by conventional generators. In this paper, an active power controller able to achieve synchronization with the grid and to control the DC link voltage is proposed. This controller allows identifying the converter with a virtual synchronous generator whose inertia can be modified online, considering that its virtual kinetic energy is stored in the DC link. Additionally, the resulting active power loop is a second order system whose damping factor can be defined freely.
