description Abstract Coordination between protection and control devices is crucial for maintaining continuous operation of power systems. Existing strategies suffer from improper coordination of control and protection devices. Moreover, high penetration levels of renewable energy sources result in lowering the overall power system inertia. Therefore, this paper presents a robust fuzzy‐logic control (FLC) method for superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) in low inertia power systems. The new proposed FLC enables robust and wide operating range for SMES compared to the widely employed controllers. The proposed FLC method and load frequency control are coordinated to emulate virtual inertia. In addition, a cooperate coordination between frequency relay and proposed controller is preserved to maintain reliable operation of low inertia power systems. To prove the effectiveness of proposed coordination strategy, it has been tested with considering different load and renewable energy sources (RESs) disturbances with varying inertia level of the selected case study. The results demonstrate that the proposed FLC method can achieve robust SMES operation as virtual inertia controller (VIC) at wide operating range. Moreover, cooperative operation of VIC and frequency protection is preserved using the proposed coordination strategy. The power system availability, frequency regulation, and dynamic stability are improved using the proposed method.
