Abstract
Renewable generation interfaced through grid-forming converters are proposed as a replacement for synchronous generators in power systems. However, compared to the synchronous generator, the power electronics converter has a strict limit on the current to avoid overcurrent damage. The grid-forming converter acts like a voltage source, directily controlling the voltage. This conflicts with the operation of the conventional current limit control, which is applied to a current source. The switch between the voltage control and current control aimed to impose the current limit leads to synchronization instability. This paper proposes a novel control scheme which can be applied to the grid forming voltage control in order to enforce current limits. The proposed method has been verified through simulation and hardware tests in both symmetrical and asymmetrical faults to perform current suppression while maintaining synchronization stability in the voltage control mode.
