“…One technique that has been shown to be effective in improving stability involves equipping power converters with pseudo inertia. Such converters have the same functions as synchronous generators . The method, proposed by Zhang et al, in which the output of the power converter is synchronized with the grid is called “power synchronization” and is based on the synchronization mechanism unique to synchronous generators.…”

“…Next, we organize and reconstruct the results, for the SSI on the basis of the aforementioned design concept, and propose a novel design method. In most of the prior research, the focus has been placed on three‐phase power converters but, for consumers, single‐phase converters allow for more flexibility in operation . Our proposed method achieves overcurrent protection at failure even in a single‐phase circuit, can faithfully implement the dynamic characteristics designed for stabilizing a three‐phase power grid and, in an emergency situation, is capable of operating alone, specifically, constructing a local, single‐phase microgrid and operating independently.…”

A novel design of a single-phase synchronous inverter (SSI) having noninterference core dynamic performance is proposed, referred to as noninterference core SSI (NIC-SSI) in this paper. The proposed inverter consists of "core" and "shell." This novel design is advantageous for a flexible setting of the core controller to enhance power system stability, which is supported by the shell function for keeping robust synchronizing operation of inverters including microgrid operation. The novel points in this paper are summarized as: (a) the proposed controller enables SSIs to implement directly a desired dynamic characteristic such as a synchronous machine; (b) it can connect any single-phase systems as well as three-phase systems; (c) an islanded single-phase microgrid without rotating machines can be stabilized by multiple SSIs. The proposed controller makes it possible to enhance system stability against increasing uncontrollable renewable energy sources (RESs) and static power conversion devices. The developed SSI realizes flexible use in the demand side operations under normal/faulted grid conditions. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbed including the proposed digital controller and the real-time simulator validates the effectiveness of the proposed controller in the experimental conditions. K E Y W O R D Spower system stabilization, single-phase microgrid, single-phase synchronous inverter, synchronizing power Recent years have shown a steep rise in the amount of renewable energy sources (RES) being introduced. This has led to difficulties in maintaining the conventional reliability of the power grid 1-3 and other problems. As such, studies are underway to address these problems. In past papers, we demonstrated the concept of robust reliability against worst cases in uncertain environments, and proposed a method for analyz-ing and controlling the power system. 4-6 Meanwhile, there are concerns about power system stability, which is a matter that is related to the reliability problem. The fact that RES gridconnected inverter power sources are increasing means that the number of conventional power sources (i.e., synchronous generators) are decreasing, and this reduction of the inertia of the power grid is a cause of instability. Typically, the synchronizing capability of synchronous generators is vital to the stable operation of the power grid. One technique that has been

This paper proposes a controller for single‐phase synchronous inverters (SSIs) that was designed to stabilize the performance of a grid while providing overcurrent protection during the occurrence of a fault. The proposed controller for an SSI eliminates the multiple feedback control loops consisting of voltage and current controllers under normal conditions to avoid the instability attributed to them. To output the designed voltage precisely calculated using the core circuit, including a swing equation and speed governor, we employ the latched limit strategy for the overcurrent protection, which is combined with a proportional resonance current controller. Numerical simulations and experiments demonstrated that the proposed controller provides the designed performance while ensuring overcurrent protection during normal operation. © 2023 The Authors.
