BANGBANG CONTROL STRATEGY


OF ALTERNATING INERTIA
One cycle of the oscillation consists of four segments
** select a large value of J during acceleration phases to reduce the acceleration
** select a small value of J during deceleration phases to boost the deceleration.
The transients are suppressed
and equals zero at the new
equilibrium point

Oscillation will stop

Fixed J

Alternating J

**fixed J cannot stabilize the frequency


When changing to
alternating inertia
control

1.stabilize the system


2.suppresses the frequency
and power oscillations
effectively.

Damping factor
1. An inappropriate value of damping factor may result in a high
magnitude of oscillation or a sluggish response
2. Here, choosing damping factor = 0

Damping factor
1. An inappropriate value of damping factor may result in a high magnitu

de of oscillation or a sluggish response


2. Here, choosing damping factor = 0

We can see the system operates


stably, and the oscillations are
eliminated by the alternating
inertia idea

STABILITY ASSESSMENT BY ENERGY


FUNCTION ANALYSIS
0 J

Ek , is the kinetic energy


EP is the potential energy
From Fig.4 start at point a

a to b

b to c

[Pin( 1) + b(cos cos 1)]

is zero and 1 is maximum


presumption of J > 0 is needed.
Ek = 0 EP is maximum

Ek is increasing, and Ep is
decreasing as increases
and 1 decreases
decreases and 1 increases
the total energy has decreased

*Damping effect
This criterion demands that the derivative of the
energy function is negative.

Assuming a zero damping factor D

GRID STABILITY ENHANCEMENT


BY ALTERNATING INERTIA

A. VSG in Parallel With Other Machines


With fixed J, VSG was not able
to recover from the fault as
shown in Fig. 12.

the alternating inertia


scheme improved the stability of
the adjacent machine by
the extra damping effect imposed
on the transient energy
directly

B. VSG as an Interface Between the SG and Grid

System with fixed inertia and a zero


damping factor was unable to
recover from much milder faults
oscillation was suppressed by the
alternating inertia scheme, and the
severe transient of dc-link voltage was
also eliminated

EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
with fixed moment of inertia of
0.563 kgm2 and D = 17 pu.

When the power reference


increased,
the VSG output power followed
the power command after
passing severe oscillations with
the amplitude of 2 kW

with alternating J and D = 17 pu

The effectiveness of the alternating


inertia in the smooth transition of
current level and reducing the voltage
ripples at the VSG terminal is obvious
in this figure

To clarify the damping effect of the al


ternating inertia scheme

With D= 0, alternating inertia


the VSG can track the
power reference with negligible
transients.

CONCLUSION
1.By selecting a big value for the moment of inertia during acceleration, the haste
was mitigated, and on the other hand, during deceleration, a small value for ine
rtia factor was adopted to increase the deceleration effect
2.In the case of a real synchronous machine, this transient energy is dissipated by
damping terms during Oscillations
3.Compared to normal damping factor D, the damping exerted by alternating inert
ia is considerably more effective and has identical results in any conditions.
4.Any transients can be eliminated before appearing. The idea does not only stabil
ize the VSG unit, but also enhances the stability of other machines in the system
