A Model Predictive Approach for Enhancing Transient Stability of Grid-Forming Converters
A model predictive control (MPC) method for enhancing post-fault transient stability of a grid-forming (GFM) inverter based resources (IBRs) is developed in this paper. This proposed controller is activated as soon as the converter enters into the post-fault current-saturation mode. It aims at mitigating the instability arising from insufficient deceleration due to current saturation and thus improving the transient stability of a GFM-IBR. The MPC approach optimises the post-fault trajectory of GFM IBRs by introducing appropriate corrective phase angle jumps and active power references where the post-fault dynamics of GFM IBRs are addressed. These two signals provide controllability over GFM IBR's post-fault trajectory. This paper addresses the mitigation of oscillations between current-saturation mode and normal mode by forced saturation if conditions for remaining in the normal mode do not hold. The performance of the proposal is tested via dynamic simulations under various grid conditions and compared with other existing strategies. The results demonstrate significant improvement in transient stability.

Passivity and Decentralized Stability Conditions for Grid-Forming Converters
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…
Enhanced Fault Ride-Through Grid Forming with Transient Synchronisation Stability and Current Saturation
During grid faults, grid-forming converters are typically suggested to switch from a voltage-source to a current-source mode to limit the current and protect the electronics. This transition has the potential for the con…
Impact of current limiters and fast voltage boosters in grid-forming VSC-based generators on transient stability
Transient stability is a complex phenomenon presented in multi-machine and multi-converter systems, and it is still considered a key limiting factor for stressed power systems. The increasing integration of non-synchrono…
