Coordinated control of grid-forming converters and hydro generators to enhance frequency quality of future power system
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2022

The aim of this paper is to propose a coordinated control strategy between grid-forming converters equipped with energy storage, and hydro generators to facilitate frequency support from the converters in future power systems. In this way, it is possible to take advantage of the fast dynamic properties of the converter system, and at the same time minimize the energy storage requirements associated with the converter system. The proposed tuning criterion for the frequency controller of the grid-forming converter facilitates a natural coordination between the converter system and hydro generators. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is compared against the conventional droop-based approach available in the literature. Finally, the analytical findings are validated using detailed time-domain simulation model in PSCAD.
