Abstract

This letter proposes a dual model for grid-forming (GFM) controlled converters. The model is inspired from the observation that the structures of the active and reactive power equations of lossy synchronous machine models are almost symmetrical in terms of armature resistance and transient reactance. The proposed device is able to compensate grid power unbalance without requiring a frequency signal. In fact, the active power control is based on the rate of change of the voltage magnitude. On the other hand, synchronization and frequency control is obtained through the reactive power support. The letter shows that the proposed dual-GFM control is robust and capable of recovering a normal operating condition following large contingencies, such as load outages and three-phase faults.
