Development and Optimization of an Adaptive Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) for Stabilizing Power Grids with High Renewable Energy Penetration

The proposed research project aims to improve the stability of electrical grids, which are increasingly powered by renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, by developing a Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG). This virtual generator would allow grids with low natural inertia, due to the presence of power electronics (e.g., inverters), to better respond to frequency fluctuations and avoid power outages. This project, conducted in collaboration between Canada and France, will help enhance the integration of renewable energies, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and increase the reliability of electrical networks.
