PQ control is one of the most common strategies for ESS connected to the grid. It focuses on controlling the active power (P) and reactive power (Q) output of the ESS independently. To enhance the controllabil-ity and flexibility of the IBRs, this paper proposed an adaptive PQ control method with a guaranteed response. . Events: grid-connected, unplanned islnding at 10 s, planned reconnection at 15 s, reconnect to the grid. Strategy II has slightly better transients in the output current. Most VSG inverters are voltage sources and can help to ma nt and sustainable power system.
