The low-frequency oscillations (LFOs) inherent in power systems will be impacted by the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs). This paper investigates the impact of virtual synchronous machine (VSM) based RESs on the LFOs in power systems. A detailed two-machine test-bed has been developed to analyze the LFOs which exists when VSMs replace synchronous generators. The characteristics of the LFO modes, and the dominant states have been comprehensively analyzed. Furthermore, this study analyzes the LFO modes which exists in an all-VSM grid. The role of the power system stabilizers in the all-VSM grid has been comprehensively evaluated. The IEEE benchmark two-area four-machine system has been employed to corroborate the results of the small-signal analysis, and observe the transient performance. The analysis in this paper have been performed in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
