Grid-Forming/Following Control for Converters of Renewable Energy Sources

Here is proposed a new control framework for converters of renewable energy sources, based on choosing their operation mode – grid-forming or grid-following depends on the dynamic properties of a power system. Accordingly with the proposed definition of the power system’s dynamic stiffness (DS) are defining its direct (DDS) and quadrature (QDS) components.
