Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the interaction of the Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) units with the grid. Within this scope, test-scenarios of different power systems with increasing VSG penetration levels, are simulated and evaluated. The ability of a battery storage system to provide primary frequency regulation, as part of a virtual synchronous generator, is also examined whereas several control strategies are used to properly manage the battery storage system according to the technical specifications of the ENTSO-E.
