Integration of inverter-interfaced distributed generators (DGs) via microgrids into traditional power systems reduces the total inertia and damping properties, while increasing uncertainty and sensitivity to the fault in the system. The concept of the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) has been recently introduced in the literature as a solution, which mimics the behavior of conventional synchronous generators in large power systems. Parameters of the VSGs are normally determined comparing the conventional synchronous generators. This paper introduces an extended VSG for microgrids by combining the concept of virtual rotor, virtual primary, and virtual secondary control as a virtual controller to stabilize/regulate the system frequency. An H∞ robust control method is proposed for robust\optimal tuning of the virtual parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed control methodology is verified via a microgrid test bench.
