We propose a passivity-based control strategy to enhance the stability and dynamic performance of grid-forming multi-inverter power stations and address these challenges. The inner loop designed from the perspective of energy reshaping, ensures the stability of the inverter’s output.

Can inverter stability be improved in power stations?

This work provides a feasible solution for enhancing inverter stability in power stations, contributing to the reliable integration of renewable energy. Existing grid-connected inverters encounter stability issues when facing nonlinear changes in the grid, and current solutions struggle to manage complex grid environments effectively.
