A Study on the Placement of Virtual Synchronous Generator in a Two-Area System

One of the solutions to solve the low inertia issue in the power system due to the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) is by using a virtual synchronous generator (VSG). However, most of the VSG research is conducted focused on the area of power electronics using a simple generator-load system. In this paper, the results of an investigation on the placement of virtual synchronous generator (VSG) in a two-area, four-generator power system are presented. The effects of the placement of VSG at different locations in the system with reduced inertia are analyzed using time-domain and modal analysis.
