Grid-Forming Power Inverters Control and Applications
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 | Grid-Forming Power Inverters Control and Applications
