The inertia issues in a microgrid can be improved by modifying the inverter control strategies to represent a virtual inertia simulation. This method employs the droop control strategy commonly used to share the power of a load among different power sources in the microgrid. This paper utilizes a modified droop control that represents this virtual inertia and applies an optimization algorithm to determine the optimal parameters and improve transient response. The results show better control when different variations are presented in the loads, leading the microgrid to have a better control of the operation. The optimization method applied in this research allows improvement to the transient response, thus avoiding unnecessary blackouts in the microgrid.

<p>A new power sharing method of a virtual sychronous generator control based inverters is introduced in this paper. Since virtual synchronous generator has virtual inertia and damping properties, it significantly enhances the grid stability. However, its output power considerably affects by the line impedance. Thus, in this paper, the relation between the droop control and the line impedance is analyzed at first. Then, by appling an improved droop control strategy to an inverter based on the virtual sychronous generator control, achieving proportional active and reactive power sharing unaffected by the line impedance is realized. The result shows that a smooth response is achieved. As well as, the voltage drop caused by the line impedance is totally compensated. As a result, the system stability is furtherly improved. At last, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through MATLAB/Simulink.</p>
