Firstly, the adaptive analog virtual synchronous generator (AVSG) is introduced into the voltage outer loop by combining the inertial parameters with the voltage change rate, and the flexible adjustment of the inertial parameters is realized. Secondly, the improved model predictive control is introduced into the current inner loop to realize the fast-tracking of the given current value and improve the dynamic characteristics of the control system. Finally, a system model is established based on Matlab\/Simulink for simulation. The results show that compared with the traditional virtual inertia control strategy, the proposed control strategy has smaller bus voltage fluctuation amplitude and better dynamic performance; when a 10 kW load mutation occurs, the magnitude of bus voltage drop is reduced by 60%, and the voltage recovery time is shortened by 30%. The proposed control strategy can effectively improve the stability of DC bus voltage and the operation ability of the system under asymmetric conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym15112072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,15]],"date-time":"2023-11-15T10:51:37Z","timestamp":1700045497000},"page":"2072","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Adaptive Virtual Inertia Control Strategy for a Grid-Connected Converter of DC Microgrid Based on an Improved Model Prediction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Feng","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minghong","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Baojin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wanling","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"409","article-title":"Optimal planning of AC-DC hybrid transmission and distributed energy resource system: Review and prospects","volume":"5","author":"Liu","year":"2019","journal-title":"CSEE J.
