Aiming at the deficiencies of power sharing control performances when a traditional droop control is adopted for microgrid inverters, this paper proposes a microgrid inverter power sharing control strategy based on a virtual synchronous generator. This control method simulates the electromechanical transient characteristics of a synchronous generator in a power system by an ontology algorithm and the control laws of a synchronous generator by control over the speed governor and excitation regulator. As a result, that the microgrid system is able to effectively retain the stability of the voltage and frequency, and the power sharing precision of the microgrid inverter is improved. Based on an analysis of stability of a microgrid system controlled by a virtual synchronous generator, design thoughts are provided for further improvement of the power sharing precision of inverters. The simulation results shows that when the virtual synchronous generator based control strategy was adopted, the power sharing performances of microgrid inverters are improved more obviously than those using the droop control strategy.

There has been increasing interest in the renewable energies. Wind energy is worldwide number one renewable energy from the installed capacity viewpoint. Most of the power systems utilizing wind energy are connected to other large systems. In such integrated systems, frequency control is not big issue. Rut the situation is different in isolated systems like Korean power system. It is important to assess appropriate capacity of wind power for our system, as it affects the system operation and control strategy. In this paper we made it clear the relationship among generator inertias, governor droop, system damping and wind energy capacity.
