Grid-Forming Converters- Principles and Practices 2025
Doctoral School of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University
Description: Converter-based systems dominate modern grids due to increasing renewables, where grid-forming controlled converters play a key role in maintaining power system stability. This course addresses crucial grid-forming converter principles, including grid codes, control design, stability, resonance damping, and fault management for power professionals and researchers.
Key words: Grid-forming converters, grid codes, control, modeling, stability, fault
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge in ac circuits, power electronic converters and control theories.
Learning objectives: Concepts of grid-forming converters, grid code requirements for grid-forming, detailed control structures, simple control implementation in simulations and stability analysis
