Special Session 4
Stability and Control of Grid-Forming Inverter-Based Power Systems
With the increasing penetration of renewable
energy resources and energy storage systems, power-electronics-based
inverters are rapidly replacing conventional synchronous generators
(SGs) in modern power systems. Grid-forming (GFM) inverters have
emerged as a key technology for future power grids due to their
capability of providing voltage and frequency support. However,
compared with conventional SGs, GFM inverters exhibit different
dynamic characteristics and more complex control interactions, which
introduce significant stability and control challenges. In addition,
detailed controller parameters of commercial inverters are often
unavailable in practical power systems, making black-box modeling
increasingly important.
This Special Session focuses on recent advances in the stability
analysis, modeling, and control of GFM inverter-based power systems,
covering both small-signal and large-signal stability issues. The
scope of this Special Session includes, but is not limited to,
impedance-based and state-space-based modeling, oscillation
mechanism analysis, transient stability analysis and assessment
under large disturbances, fault ride-through strategies and
characteristics, stability enhancement methods for both transient
and small-signal dynamics, data-driven and AI-assisted black-box
impedance modeling, and machine-learning-based transient stability
analysis.
The session aims to provide an platform for researchers and
engineers to exchange innovative ideas and discuss future directions
in the stability analysis and control of GFM inverter-based power
systems.
