Towards 100% Renewable Generation with Virtual Synchronous Generators

Mr. Fabio Mandrile, Dept. of Energy (DENERG), Politecnico di Torino

Power electronics-based energy conversion is making the exploitation of Renewable Energy Sources, such as sun and wind, more and more attractive and the amount of renewable energy generation is expected to rise exponentially all over the world in the next 20 years. However, this comes at a price: the power system was designed to operate with a prevalence of synchronous generators. Therefore, changes in the design of power electronics and control will be mandatory to reach a 100% renewable-based power system. In particular, electronic converters will have to guarantee the so called "ancillary services" in order to maintain the stability and the correct operation of the power grid. A promising solution is the concept of Virtual Synchronous Generator, that makes the converter behave as a synchronous machine. This talk will introduce the issues related to power generation from renewables and describe how Virtual Synchronous Generators can solve them.
