Performance Evolution of Combined Grid-Forming and Grid-Following Inverters with Different Filtering Mechanisms
2023 11th International Conference on Power Electronics and ECCE Asia (ICPE 2023 - ECCE Asia)(2023)
Abstract
This paper discusses the challenges faced by electric power systems due to the increasing use of inverter-based renewable energy resources (IBRs) operating in grid-following mode (GFL) and the limited support they provide for the grid’s reliability and stability. With increased IBRs connected to the grid, electric utilities are increasingly requiring IBRs to behave like traditional grid-forming (GFM) synchronous generators to provide support for inertia, frequency, voltage, black start capability, and more. The paper focuses on developing GFM inverter technologies with L, LC, and LCL filters and investigates the performance of combined GFM and GFL inverters with different filtering mechanisms when supplying different types of loads. It also emphasizes achieving voltage controllability at the point of common coupling of the GFM with the rest of an AC system. EMT simulation is utilized to investigate the interaction of combined GFM and GFL inverters with different filtering mechanisms. The research results will assist electric utilities in ensuring the reliability and stability of electric power systems in the future.
