New control schemes for inverters are required. Virtual synchronous machines (VSM) replicate the inertia and inherent voltage support of synchronous machines. High short-circuit currents however increase hardware cost. An extended VSM model and a strategy to reduce short-circuit currents while maintaining stability is presented. System studies and experiments demonstrate that VSM ensure stability in the system split scenario.eninertiasystem splitfault-ride-throughshort circuitcurrent limitationgrid-forming controllaboratory testconference paper
