Inertia-less power converters are one of the main obstructions to increase the penetration level of distributed energy resources in the utility grid. The stability of the power system mainly depends on the system inertia. Virtual synchronous machine and synchronverter-based grid-tied inverters have been introduced as a solution to this problem. Here, a modified selfsynchronised synchronverter is introduced to enhance the dynamic response of the active power loop and to limit the injected active/reactive power to the grid. Furthermore, the injected current to the grid is limited during faults employing proportionalresonant-based inner current loop. Feed-forward voltage is implemented in the current control loop to achieve seamless transfer between standalone and grid-connection modes of operation. Extensive simulation and experimental results are obtained to verify the proposed enhanced controller.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
