A complex-power-based adaptive virtual impedance decoupling strategy for VSGs in low-voltage distribution networks
To address the severe active and reactive power coupling of virtual synchronous generators (VSGs) caused by the high R/X ratio of low-voltage distribution systems
an adaptive virtual impedance decoupling strategy with adaptive regulation and parameter robustness is proposed. First
a power transfer model incorporating virtual impedance is established to analyze the effect of power-loop dynamics on the coupling process. Then
an adaptive virtual impedance regulation mechanism is developed based on complex power feedback at the point of common coupling (PCC). By reconstructing the virtual impedance online
the virtual impedance parameters can be adaptively adjusted according to real-time system operating condition
thereby achieving dynamic power decoupling. Finally
simulation and experimental results demonstrate that
under a 1 p.u. rated active power step
the proposed strategy reduces the experimentally measured reactive power coupling fluctuation by 65.4%. The proposed decoupling strategy does not rely on accurate prior knowledge of line impedance
significantly enhancing system adaptive robustness and improving VSG control accuracy and stability during dynamic voltage evolution.
