Compared with the traditional power, many different kinds of micro sources and control modes are used in distributed generation (DG) , which makes the small signal electromechanical transient analysis of the power grid difficult. This study established a reduced order model of photovoltaic (PV) power generation considering the behavior of battery and inverter, and presented a power source model of solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) by analyzing the characteristic patterns of the full-order state-space model and the time constant of SOFC and PV. Then, the model was used to study the effect of grid-connected DC distributed generation on power system small signal stability through simulation examples. The research shows that SOFC or PV affects the system damping characteristics by changing the power flow and the system equilibrium point. When the output increases, due to the increasing spinning reserve of the conventional unit, the damping characteristics are strongly related to the conventional unit, in which working in the operation mode of reducing output will show a tendency to increase.
