Small-Signal Stability Analysis and Parameters Optimization of Virtual Synchronous Generator for Low-Inertia Power System by Alaa Altawallbeh (22565837)

“…This paper presents a comprehensive small-signal modeling and stability analysis framework for grid-connected virtual synchronous generators (VSGs), integrating: an LCL-filter interfaced power converter, active/reactive power loop (APL/RPL) controllers, and dual-loop PI-based current and voltage control. Through systematic eigenvalue analysis and parameter sensitivity studies, complemented by time-domain verification in MATLAB/SIMULINK, we demonstrate the decisive influence of VSG control parameters on low-frequency oscillation (LFO) damping characteristics, transient frequency stability metrics, including the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF), maximum frequency deviation (<i>fnadir</i>), overshoot, and settling time. …”
