New model of a converter-based generator using electrostatic synchronous machine concept

In this paper, a new method for modeling converterbased power generators in ac-distributed systems is proposed. It is based on the concept of electrostatic synchronous machines. With this new concept, it is possible to establish a simple relationship between the dc and ac side and to study stability in both the small and large signals of the microgrid by considering a dc-link dynamic and high variation in the power supplied. Also, for the purpose of illustration, a mathematical and electrical simulation is presented, based on MATLAB and PSCAD software. Finally, an experimental test is performed in order to validate the new model.In this paper, a new method for modeling converter-based power generators in ac-distributed systems is proposed.
