Abstract: We prove that the popular grid-forming control, i.e., dispatchable virtual oscillator control (dVOC), also termed complex droop control, exhibits output-feedback passivity in its large-signal model, featuring an explicit and physically meaningful passivity index. Using this passivity property, we derive decentralized stability conditions for the transient stability of

Grid-forming increases grid stability and security of supply by providing flexible and resilient solutions to grid disturbances. which weakens the grid and increases the risk of transient voltage instability and converter instability in grid-following systems. Better controls and parameter tuning can reduce these risks, but there is a limit
When grid-forming (GFM) inverter-based resources (IBRs) face severe grid disturbances (e.g., short-circuit faults), the current limitation mechanism may be triggered. Consequently, the GFM IBRs enter the current-saturation mode, inducing nonlinear dynamical behaviors and posing great challenges to the post-disturbance transient angle stability. This
This letter proposes a dual model for grid-forming (GFM) controlled converters. The model is inspired from the observation that the structures of the active and reactive power equations of lossy synchronous machine models are almost symmetrical in terms of armature resistance and transient reactance. The proposed device is able to compensate grid power
Natural disasters may result in grid outages, which can impact critical loads. Thus, a resilience enhancement-oriented critical load restoration strategy is required. As transmission lines are exposed to these events, critical loads cannot rely on the grid. The microgrid must be able to deliver power to these critical loads during such events. In this

We consider the problem of grid-forming control of power converters in low-inertia power systems. Starting from an average-switch three-phase power converter model, we draw parallels to a synchronous machine (SM) model and propose a novel converter control strategy which dwells upon the main characteristic of a SM: the presence of an internal rotating
Recent studies have shown the potential benefits of grid-forming (GFM) converters and their capability of stabilizing a power system with high penetration of power electronics-based generation.

Abstract: In the last decade, the concept of grid-forming (GFM) converters has been introduced for microgrids and islanded power systems.
Consequently, future converters must provide all features necessary for grid stability and control. Converters that are capable of this are referred to as grid-forming (GFM); in contrast to grid-following (GFL) converters used today, which are designed to feed in current after having synchronized to a given grid voltage.
Abstract: In electrical power systems where the proportion of synchronous generators (SG) is gradually decreasing, grid-forming (GFM) converters need to be installed and controlled to meet all the system requirements that SGs have provided to date.
