Active Support Performance Test of Grid-connected Photovoltaic System Based on Grid-forming Control

With the continuous increase penetration of new energy, the integration of grid-following (GFL) converter is prone to frequency stability issue, while the utilization of grid-forming (GFM) converter with active support capability has become an inevitable trend in development. In this paper, the model of grid-connected photovoltaic system using GFL/GFM control is established. The support characteristic of GFM is compared and analyzed in different testing scenarios with GFL as the reference: (1) Small disturbance test (2) Large disturbance test (3) Island capability test. Finally, the active support performance of the system is quantitatively analyzed based on corresponding evaluation indexes.
