Abstract

The integration of the significant number of virtual inertia control systems could create new challenges in the implementation of virtual inertia control systems in today and future power systems. Since the large amounts of RESs/DGs have been integrated by the electrical industry into power systems, considerable effort is required to effectively manage the installed virtual inertia control units. This chapter presents the technical challenges and further research needs regarding the virtual inertia control system. The key aspects of the challenges are how to manage changes in system topology created by various virtual inertia control systems as new control units in the network along with the resulted change in system dynamics and how to make the robust power grid by taking the advantage of the potential flexibility of the decentralized/distributed virtual inertia control units. The challenges such as the optimization of the virtual inertia control system and real-time inertia estimation are emphasized for supporting the reliable operation of virtual inertia control units for their application in low inertia power systems with high penetration of RESs. Finally, some important challenges related to the market for inertia service and the regulation of the virtual inertia control system are discussed for further research.
