Abstract: The inertia control ability of photovoltaic power stations is weak. This leads to the problem that photovoltaic power stations cannot provide effective physical inertia support in the grid-connected system. In this paper, a photovoltaic power station controlled by a synchronous generator and virtual synchronous power generation is taken as the research object. A station-level dynamic inertia control model with synchronous machine and inverter control parameters coordinated is established. Firstly, the weakening of system inertia after a high-proportion photovoltaic grid connection is analyzed. Inertia compensation analysis based on an MW-level synchronous unit is carried out. According to the principle of virtual synchronous control of inverter, the virtual inertia control method and physical mechanism of a grid-connected inverter in a photovoltaic station are studied. Secondly, the inertia characteristics of the DC side of the grid-connected inverter are analyzed. The cooperative inertia control method of the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter and synchronous machine is established. Then, the influence of inertia on the system frequency is studied. The frequency optimization of the grid-connected parameter optimization of a photovoltaic station based on inertia control is carried out. Finally, aiming at the grid-connected control parameters, the inertia control parameter setting method of the photovoltaic station is carried out. The neural network predictive control model is established. At the same time, the grid-connected control model of the MW-level synchronous machine is embedded. The control system has the inertia characteristics of the synchronous generator and the fast-response dynamic characteristics of the power inverter.
