With the development of virtual synchronous generator (VSG) techniques, parallel operations of synchronous generators (SGs) and VSGs become increasingly common in a microgrid. The differences between paralleled systems will affect the transient stability of the system, which probably threatens stable operation of the system, especially under fault conditions. In this article, the transient angle stability of a paralleled synchronous and virtual synchronous generators (SG-VSG) system is investigated by comparing it with that of the paralleled VSGs system. It is observed that the paralleled SG-VSG system is more prone to transient instability due to the differences between their speed governors. Then, a control method is proposed to improve the transient stability of the paralleled SG-VSG system. Furthermore, a Lyapunov method is employed to establish the nonlinear model of islanded microgrid, by which the attraction domain of paralleled system is quantified. The hardware-in-loop experiment is performed to validate the theoretical analysis.
