However, small power plants' use does not contribute to the frequency regulation in the electrical power system due to the lack of the inertia and damping properties of synchronous generators used conventionally. This condition can produce unpredictable and unstable operational conditions of multi-area power systems. Hence, this paper aims to assess a voltage source converter (VSC) controlled by a synchronverter to help in frequency regulation in power networks that contain an actual number of renewable sources connected. The contribution lies in using the synchronverter as a control element capable of interacting correctly in a power network with a distributed generation system integrated with synchronous generators and renewable energy sources. Under this scenario, a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) strategy of a photovoltaic-fuel cell-battery power generation system demonstrates that the VSC controlled by a synchronverter can react adequately under frequency deviations. A three power plants' performance, a conventional one and two photovoltaic (P.V.) farms handled by a synchronverter tied through a transmission link, is studied to demonstrate that the frequency viewpoint's behaviour and control purposes are satisfied. The results show the viability of the synchronverter as a frequency control strategy in electrical networks.

The hypothesis is that it is possible to manage the power transfer flow based on the BTB linear operating region and appropriate control strategies, allowing AC/DC and DC/AC converters to control the power flow simultaneously. The results are demonstrated through a small-scale implementation, managed with the virtual synchronous generator strategy.

The objective is to show that such an approach is pertinent to handle this type of converters, especially important nowadays that such devices are practically permeating small as well as large electrical networks. The paper helps to demonstrate that the proposed control strategy is capable of satisfying the requirement that a modern VSC must contribute to the Volts/Var regulation problem in the smart grid, which represents a significant challenge. The application is carried out in the context of the hardware-in-the-loop using Matlab/Simulink. The results state the VSC performance under different operating conditions and become quite relevant.

With constant input power and fixed value of capacitance, the induced voltage varies with the applied load. This paper proposes an ELC scheme whose control strategy is simple and reliable. Antiparallel insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) switches are used to control the dump load connection and disconnection. The proposed ELC has been tested under several critical situations, providing an excellent voltage and frequency regulation.
