563 Abstract: The application of virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control in flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) is an effective solution for addressing the challenges related to reduced inertia and inadequate power supply in microgrids.
The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology imparts power to electronically interfaced equipment with inertia and damping features akin to synchronous generators (SGs), thereby offering an effective solution to the challenge of insufficient frequency support capacity resulting from the reduced share of SGs .
In, a fuzzy VSG control structure was designed for the FESS, thereby enabling the automatic adjustment of the VSG Tianyu Zhang et al. Adaptive VSG control of flywheel energy storage array for frequency support in microgrids 565 parameters according to the magnitude of the perturbation.
In Case III, the FESA reduced its output power during the frequency recovery phase to extend its operating time. However, this adjustment caused a secondary drop in grid frequency, leading to oscillations in the FESA output power.
The frequency of the ideal AC grid was set to 49.97 Hz. Fig. 12 illustrates the output power and SOC of the FESA during standby periods. As shown in Fig. 12 (a), traditional VSG control results in the FESA continuing to output active power within the frequency-regulation dead zone.
Therefore, the output active power of the VSG can be expressed as Pe = 3 sinE Uv g XΣ δ (7) where Ug is the grid voltage, XΣ is the equivalent impedance of the line and the virtual impedance of the VSG, and δ is the phase angle difference between the output voltage of the VSG and the grid voltage.

The high proportion of renewable energy access and randomness of load side has resulted in several operational challenges for conventional power systems. Firstly, this paper proposes the concept of a flexi.
As the proportion of renewable energy infiltrating the power grid increases, suppressing its randomness and volatility, reducing its impact on the safe operation of the power grid, and improving the level of new energy consumption are increasingly important. For these purposes, energy storage stations (ESS) are receiving increasing attention.
Firstly, this paper proposes the concept of a flexible energy storage power station (FESPS) on the basis of an energy-sharing concept, which offers the dual functions of power flow regulation and energy storage. Moreover, the real-time application scenarios, operation, and implementation process for the FESPS have been analyzed herein.
Concurrently, the energy storage system can be discharged at the peak of power consumption, thereby reducing the demand for peak power supply from the power grid, which in turn reduces the required capacity of the distribution transformer; thus, the investment cost for the transformer is minimized.
In addition, by leveraging the scaling benefits of power stations, the investment cost per unit of energy storage can be reduced to a value lower than that of the user's investment for the distributed energy storage system, thereby reducing the total construction cost of energy storage power stations and shortening the investment payback period.
Energy storage/reuse based on the concept of shared energy storage can fundamentally reduce the configuration capacity, investment, and operational costs for energy storage devices. Accordingly, FESPS are expected to play an important role in the construction of renewable power systems.
