Traditional power systems based on synchronous generators often feature low frequency electromechanical oscillations. However, the integration of renewable energy sources through power converters can help tackling this issue. In fact, thanks to the concept of Virtual Synchronous Machine (VSM), it is possible to make the inverters behave as real synchronous machines (SMs). This way, the inverters can be integrated into the grid as traditional SMs and can even outperform them when it comes to damping low frequency oscillations in the power system. In order to do that, proper damping algorithms must be adopted in the VSM model. Therefore, this paper presents a simple and straighforward damping method for VSMs based on a single lead-lag filter acting on the VSM active power feedback. The proposed method and its integration in the VSM model are described. Then, the proposed solution has been experimentally compared to conventional methods, along with comparison metrics, to highlight its benefits.
