Self-tuning virtual synchronous generator control for improving frequency stability in autonomous photovoltaic-diesel microgrids

Abstract This paper investigates the use of a virtual synchronous generator (VSG) to improve frequency stability in an autonomous photovoltaic-diesel microgrid with energy storage.VSG control is designed to emulate inertial response and damping power via power injection from/to the energy storage system.The effect of a VSG with constant parameters
