Recent studies have shown how synchronization units of converters operating nearby may interact with each other, affecting the stability of the system. Synchronverters are able to self-synchronize to the grid without the need of a dedicated unit because they can reproduce the power synchronization mechanism of synchronous machines. Recently, the robust stability of a synchronverter has been investigated by means of structured singular values (commonly called μ-analysis). In this paper, μanalysis is performed to investigate how the robust stability of a synchronverter is affected by the presence of another converter of the same type operating in parallel. It is demonstrated that the parallel operation of synchronverters reduces their robust stability and a possible solution is proposed, based on the implementation of virtual impedances in the control algorithm. An accurate state-space model of the system under study is developed by adopting the component connection method and the robust stability analysis is validated against time-domain simulations in MATLAB/Simulink/PLECS and experimental results with a power-hardware-in-the-loop test bench.
