Abstract

We derive a small-signal transfer function for a system comprising a virtual synchronous generator (VSG), a synchronous generator (SG), and a load, capturing voltage and frequency dynamics. Using this model, we analyze the sensitivity of SG dynamics to VSG parameters, highlighting trade-offs in choosing virtual inertia and governor lag, the limited effect of damper-winding emulation, and several others.
