METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOCATING VIRTUAL INERTIA IN PHOTOVOLTAIC CLUSTER

The method includes: determining required virtual inertia based on a frequency change rate monitored at a grid connection point of a photovoltaic grid-connected system; obtaining values of indexes that affect virtual inertia provided by each virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control unit in a photovoltaic cluster of the photovoltaic grid-connected system; determining, by using a predetermined function equation, a function value corresponding to each index; and determining an allocation proportion of the required virtual inertia in each VSG control unit based on the function value corresponding to each index. A problem of difficult conversion between a plurality of kinds of performance during operation of a power system is resolved, the frequency change rate is suppressed to a certain extent, and a stable state is recovered quickly.
