Abstract

The connection of large-scale RES (renewable energy source) to the grid and the increase in the efficiency of energy production also causes different power quality problems. It has become mandatory for these inverter-based systems to participate in load frequency control. For this purpose, the design and simulation of a virtual synchronous generator (VSG), which enables RES to operate like synchronous generators, has been carried out in Matlab/Simulink environment. It is observed that the VSG keeps the load frequency stable according to different load conditions.
