Summary video from a Master's final year group project, as presented by EME Group A in the 2018/19 session at the University of Strathclyde.

Project Abstract:
One of the biggest challenges in the UK’s transition to a low carbon economy has been decreased system inertia and resultant voltage instability, due to the uptake of converter-based distributed generation. This project presents a single-phase virtual synchronous machine (VSM) and its application to electric vehicles (EVs) in providing vehicle-to-grid (V2G) ancillary services.
EV VSM contributes to frequency regulation by providing ‘virtual’ spinning reserve to the power system using a controlled power converter to emulate the inertia of a synchronous machine. The project focuses on the progression and development of single-phase VSM control architectures, accentuating its dynamic performance and capabilities on a low voltage demonstration model, while also investigating the impact of multiple interacting units to articulate insightful findings and recommendations.
