Grid-Forming Power Inverters: Control and Applications

by Nabil Mohammed (Editor), Hassan Haes Alhelou (Editor), Behrooz Bahrani (Editor)

Overview

Grid-Forming Power Inverters: Control and Applications is the first book dedicated to addressing the operation principles, grid codes, modelling and control of grid-forming power inverters. The book initially discusses the need for this technology due to the substantial annual integration of inverter-based renewable energy resources. The key differences between the traditional grid-following and the emerging grid-forming inverters technologies are explained. Then, the book explores in detail various topics related to grid-forming power inverters, including requirements and grid standards, modelling, control, damping power system oscillations, dynamic stability under large fault events, virtual oscillator-controlled grid-forming inverters, grid-forming inverters interfacing battery energy storage, and islanded operation of grid-forming inverters.

Features:

• Explains the key differences between grid-following and grid-forming inverters
• Explores the requirements and grid standards for grid-forming inverters
• Provides detailed modelling of virtual synchronous generators
• Explains various control strategies for grid-forming inverters
• Investigates damping of power system oscillations using grid-forming converters
• Elaborates on the dynamic stability of grid-forming inverters under large fault events
• Focuses on practical applications
