<![CDATA[Global warming has emerged as a significant issue, primarily due to the use of fossil fuels for power generation. Renewable energy adoption has surged. However, stability issues arise when integrating the primary source and inertia-less nature of converter-interfaced renewable energy sources (RESs) into the traditional power system, due to its intermittent and uncertain nature. The proposed solution involves controlling converter-interfaced RES to emulate the characteristics of a conventional synchronous generator (SG), commonly known as a virtual synchronous generator or synchronverter. As it fundamentally functions as a power converter, it is crucial to consider the appropriate filter design for the synchronverter. Additionally, by emulating the characteristics of SG, the values of “virtual” inertia and droop coefficients must be chosen accurately to provide a robust response under different operating scenarios of the synchronverter. Hence, this paper proposes a novel LLCL filter-based synchronverter system along with an adaptive control strategy using a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The system is simulated under different operating scenarios in MATLAB/Simulink. The proposed system demonstrated improved frequency response and reduced total harmonic distortion compared to the conventional synchronverter model for all the different operating scenarios, thus enhancing grid stability and power quality.]]>
