Stability Analysis, Control, and Optimization Techniques of Grid Forming Converters

Dear Colleagues,

Grid-forming converters can address the grid-dependent deficiency of mainstream grid-following converters, thus enabling the safe and secure operation of modern power systems. However, grid-forming converters, characterized by nonlinear couplings among multiple control loops and limited overcurrent capability, face challenges in maintaining stable operation. Consequently, the widespread adoption of grid-forming converters is significantly hindered.

This Special Issue focuses on the stability analysis, control and optimization techniques of grid-forming converters. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following research areas:

• Modeling and model reduction of grid-forming converters;
• Dynamic behavior and stability analysis of grid-forming converters;
• Advanced grid-forming control schemes;
• Transient stability enhancement and current limiting methods of grid-forming converters;
• Synchronization of multiple grid-forming converters;
• Optimal control parameters and configuration of grid-forming converters in power systems;
• Hybrid operation of grid-forming converters, grid-following converters and synchronous generators;
• Grid-forming testing techniques and performance evaluation.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
