Abstract

With the proliferation of wind power generation, the receiving end grids exhibit unprecedented dynamic characteristics, imposing critical stability challenges on grid-connected wind turbine’s converter. To address this, wind turbine converter control strategies have evolved beyond traditional grid-following (GFL) methods to include grid-forming (GFM), mode-switching, and hybrid GFL-GFM controls. This paper establishes a small-signal model for hybrid GFL-GFM-controlled wind turbines to analyze stability at varying grid strengths, guiding the selection of coefficients in hybrid mode. Simulation tests validate the theoretical framework.
Keywords: grid-following; grid-forming; sequence impedance modeling; small-signal stability grid-following; grid-forming; sequence impedance modeling; small-signal stability
