Small-Disturbance Stability of a Wind Farm With Virtual Synchronous Generators Under the Condition of Weak Grid Connection

Case-by-case study in the literature has found from the results of numerical computation and simulation that a grid-connected virtual synchronous generator (VSG) can maintain the stability under the condition of extremely weak grid connection. This paper presents the theoretical proof to the finding and thus, generally concludes that the grid-connected VSG is immune to the instability risk under the condition of weak grid connection. In addition, the paper extends the theoretical proof to the case of a grid-connected PMSG wind farm with multiple VSGs. An example grid-connected PMSG wind farm with twenty VSGs is presented to demonstrate and evaluate the theoretical analysis and conclusion made in the paper.
