With the increase of photovoltaic penetration, the power-electronic converter (PEC)-interfaced generators with traditional control strategy may cause severe power oscillations after being disturbed due to lack of inertia and damping. The photovoltaic power plant controlled by virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology, while introducing virtual inertia and virtual damping to improve the stability of the system, will also inherit its oscillation characteristics and cause a new oscillation mode. Aiming at this problem, this paper analyzes the difference between the system low-frequency oscillation (LFO) modes before and after the VSG is connected to the two-area system by the modal analysis. It is pointed out that the PEC-interfaced renewable energy generators based on VSG control technology could change the oscillation mode of the original system. The influence of VSG's main parameters and capacity on system dynamics is analyzed. Finally, a synchrophasor-based inter-area oscillation suppressed comprehensiv...
