Grid-Forming Power Inverters

<p><strong>Grid-Forming Power Inverters: Control and Applications</strong> 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.</p><p><b>Features:</b></p><ul> <li>Explains the key differences between grid-following and grid-forming inverters</li> <li>Explores the requirements and grid standards for grid-forming inverters</li> <li>Provides detailed modelling of virtual synchronous generators</li> <li>Explains various control strategies for grid-forming inverters</li> <li>Investigates damping of power system oscillations using grid-forming converters</li> <li>Elaborates on the dynamic stability of grid-forming inverters under large fault events</li> <li>Focuses on practical applications</li> </ul>
