Abstract

By using an external signal for the synchronisation, an island grid with grid-forming inverters (GFMs) can be operated at a constant frequency. The global positioning system (GPS) provides a periodic pulse with a suitable accuracy. This is used to define the grid frequency and a reference for the voltage phase angle. A digital counter in the control hardware determines the phase angle. The counter is reset by each pulse of the GPS. An active power-angle droop control leads to partial power sharing between the GFMs and reduces distortions caused by non-ideal synchronisation. Furthermore, the grid operator can adjust the voltage reference phasors of the GFMs to control the power flow in the grid. An island grid with two GFMs and a hydro power plant is studied in simulations. The investigated power system is an altered and simplified grid model of Suðuroy, in the Faroe Islands. The effects of a load connection and a distorted GPS synchronisation are studied. Stable operation of the power system using the fixed-frequency approach is demonstrated.
