Abstract

In this paper the approach to test a real hardware Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) is presented. The purpose of a VSG is to substitute the rotational inertia of synchronous generators. The development of such a device starts in a pure simulation environment and extends to the practical realization of a VSG. Testing a real hardware VSG is a complicated matter since its place is within a power system. However, by replacing the power system with a real time simulated one, this complexity is reduced. The VSG then interacts with the simulation through a power interface. The advantages of such a laboratory test-setup are numerous and should prove beneficial to the further development of the VSG concept
