Abstract
Photovoltaic (PV) power plants with grid-forming technology must withstand severe disturbances and remain operational. To address this challenge, this paper sets forth a grid-forming strategy for PV solar power plants so that they can ride through power system faults. This capability is accomplished by leveraging two-axis proportional-integral regulators with anti-windup functionality. This paper also demonstrates that fluctuations of solar irradiance can cause significant dc-link voltage variations and loss of synchronism of grid-forming PV plants. Hence, we develop an active dc-link protection method which depends on estimation of solar irradiance. The contributions of this paper are demonstrated via positive-sequence simulations of modified versions of the WSCC 9- and IEEE 39-bus grids.
