The invention relates to a frequency self-recovery control method based on a virtual synchronous generator. When the virtual synchronous generator is put into a microgrid, a small moment of inertia Jis provided to avoid dynamic power oscillation. When small disturbance occurs, the primary frequency modulation method based on virtual synchronous generator is adopted. When the disturbance is large,the frequency offset exceeds a certain value to start the secondary frequency modulation, and the fast charging and discharging characteristics of the energy storage battery are utilized to make it participate in the secondary frequency modulation process, so that the frequency can be quickly restored to the threshold range; after that, the energy storage output is gradually reduced and the secondary frequency modulation is slowly withdrawn, and other frequency modulation devices play a major role in restoring the frequency to the rated value. The invention can effectively restrain the frequency exceeding the limit when the heavy load disturbance occurs, enable the frequency to be recovered quickly, combine the primary and secondary frequency modulation in the whole frequency modulation range, and give full play to the energy storage function.

The invention discloses an online analyzing method for grid forced power oscillation caused by internal disturbance of a power plant and relates to the field of power system operation and control. The method is mainly used for judging whether the grid forced power oscillation is caused by internal periodical disturbance of the power plant. In actual operation of a grid, the forced power oscillation caused by generator disturbance is the most common oscillation mode, but whether grid oscillation is caused by the internal disturbance of the power plant where the grid is connected or by the disturbance at the grid end is difficult to judge directly through the characteristics of oscillation amplitude, frequency and the like. Therefore, the method is provided to identify measured data parameters of the power plant connected into grid nodes based on FFT (fast Fourier transform) and conduct energy flow phase difference analysis to judge whether the grid oscillation is caused by the internal disturbance of the power plant where the grid is connected. By means of the method, judgment can be conducted directly at a measuring terminal, and the method is simple in calculation and high in analyzing speed and has good actual application value.
