Grid-forming capability: the evolution of power converters in power systems with high penetration of renewable energy sources
We invite you to read the research article by Dr. Piotr Rzepka and Dr. Mateusz Szablicki published in the journal Wiadomości Elektrotechniczne.
Abstract: The paper presents the characteristics of grid-forming capability, a new technical capability of power electronic devices (in particular power converters used in power system installations) that enables them to actively shape parameters of voltage and frequency at the power grid. This capability is very important for power systems with declining stability, resulting from the dynamic development of renewable energy sources and the gradual phase-out of conventional synchronous generation units. It is assumed that the deployment of grid-forming capability will allow for enhanced utilization of inverter based resources – including energy storage systems, photovoltaic plants, and wind farms – for the stabilization of power system operating conditions.
