Summary: An adaptive control strategy for the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) based on the energy storage system is proposed to compensate for the loss of inertia and damping in the power grid, aiming to reduce power oscillation and improve response speed. The strategy utilizes a radial basis function NN to adaptively adjust virtual inertia, and tunes the damping coefficient based on a fixed damping ratio to suppress power oscillation. Simulation results demonstrate that the strategy performs well in damping oscillation.

Summary: The effects of forced oscillations (FOs) in well-damped power systems are smaller than those in microgrids (MGs) due to the intensification by converter interfaced generators (CIGs). The FOs in MGs pose challenges for future research, particularly in low-inertia MGs where they can cause system instability and collapse. This paper introduces an extended virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control with virtual forced components to mitigate the dynamic FO effects in low-inertia MGs.

Summary: In a DC microgrid, the use of a dual active bridge (DAB) converter for voltage conversion and power transfer is essential. However, the interaction between the impedance of the DAB converter and an LC filter cascaded to it can cause instability and voltage fluctuations. To overcome this, a modified fuzzy logic controller (FLC), active voltage stabilizer (AVS), and feed-forward (FF) controller are proposed to reshape the impedance of the DAB converter and ensure system stability. The modified controller achieves improved dynamic response, reduced settling time, rise time, and overshoot.
