Layout and Performance of the Power Electronic Converter Platform for the VSYNC Project

This paper presents the power electronic platform used for the VSYNC project. In this project, inverters are controlled in such a way as to exhibit a virtual rotational inertia towards the grid, in order to limit grid frequency variations in grids containing a high share of inverter-connected DER. First the layout and operation of the platform are described in detail, showing its versatility for research purposes. Next the performance of the platform is illustrated using experimental results obtaining using a grid-connected inverter in a laboratory setup. © 2009 IEEE.
