Passivity and Decentralized Stability Conditions for Grid-Forming Converters (2310.09935v2)
Published 15 Oct 2023 in eess.SY and cs.SY
Abstract: 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 and physically meaningful passivity index. Using this passivity property, we derive decentralized stability conditions for the transient stability of dVOC in multi-converter grid-connected systems, beyond prior small-signal stability results. The decentralized conditions are of practical significance, particularly for ensuring the transient stability of renewable power plants under grid disturbances.
