AbstractInverter‐dependent renewable energy sources are being integrated into the grid, raising several stability‐related difficulties. This is because these renewable sources have less inertia than synchronous generators. Since the power grid's overall inertia has improved, the introduction of virtual synchronous generators (VSG) has gained much attention. A robust microgrid system requires an effortless transition from grid‐connected to autonomous mode. This can be easily achieved with the help of VSGs. The angle, frequency, and magnitude of the grid voltage needed for synchronization have traditionally been determined by phase‐locked‐loop (PLL). The virtual synchronizing torque and voltage‐based synchronization controller for simple switching between islanding and grid‐connected modes are presented in this study. The proposed method requires no additional controller to identify the unwanted islanding situations because the operating mode can be identified with the help of synchronizing torque. The proposed method does not need to shift to different control algorithms while changing between grid connection and stand‐alone modes. The effectiveness of the suggested controller is established by comparing the experimental prototype of the VSG incorporating the proposed controller to the existing synchronization methods.
