This report provides supplementary material and additional information to complement the data in the paper: “VSG-Based Power Plant Control Using System Identification and Model-Matching Techniques”. Abstract: This paper presents a control strategy for renewable power plants with converter-interfaced generation (CIG) units. Virtual synchronous generator control is used in CIG units to provide inertia and frequency support, and centralized control is proposed to achieve high-performance control of active and reactive power at the point of interconnection with the grid. The control strategy is able to handle different time delays in the power plant communication channels. The centralized control is an observer-based state-feedback controller designed using system identification and model-matching techniques. First, an identification method is applied to obtain a system model. In this way, models and data of commercial equipment used in non-conventional renewable power plants are…………….
