description As the increasing penetration of inverter-based generation (IBG) and the consequent displacement of traditional synchronous generators (SGs), the system stability and reliability deteriorate for two reasons: first, the overall inertia decreases since the power electronic interfaces (PEIs) are almost inertia-less; second, renewable generation profiles are largely influenced by stochastic meteorological conditions. To strengthen power systems, the concept of the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) has been proposed, which controls the external characteristics of PEIs to emulate those of SGs. Currently, PEIs could perform short-term inertial and primary frequency responses through the VSG algorithm. For renewable energy sources (RES), deloading strategies enable the generation units to possess active power reserves for system frequency responses. Additionally, the deloading strategies could provide the potential for renewable generation to possess long-term frequency regulation abilities. This paper focuses on emulation strategies and economic dispatch for IBG units to perform multiple temporal frequency control. By referring to the well-established knowledge systems of generation and operation in conventional power systems, the current VSG algorithm is extended and complemented by the emulation of secondary and tertiary regulations. The reliability criteria are proposed, considering the loss of load probability (LOLP) and renewable spillage probability (RSP). The reliability criteria are presented in two scenarios, including the renewable units operated in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and VSG modes. A LOLP-based economic dispatch (ED) approach is solved to acquire the generation and reserve schemes. The emulation strategies and the proposed approach are verified by simulation.
