Adaptive Grid Impedance Shaping Approach Applied for Grid-Forming Power Converters

Generalized-impedance and Stability Criterion for Grid-connected Converters

The output impedance matrix of a grid-connected converter plays an important role in analyzing system stability. Due to the dynamics of the DC-link control and the phase locked loop (PLL), the output impedance matrices of the converter and grid are difficult to be diagonally decoupled simultaneously, neither in the dq domain nor in the phase domain. It weakens the effectiveness of impedance-bas...

Power Converters for Grid Integration of Wind Power Systems

This paper presents the different power converters for grid integration of wind power systems. In wind power systems while integrating with grid, power quality issues are becoming more predominant. This can solve by using power electronics converters like two level back to back converter and matrix converters. Converters are compared on the basis of efficiencies, voltage conversion ratios and T...

Grid Impedance Estimation Using Several Short-Term Low Power Signal Injections

In this paper, a signal processing method is proposed to estimate the low and high-frequency impedances of power systems using several short-term low power signal injections for a frequency range of 0-150 kHz. This frequency range is very important, and thusso it is considered in the analysis of power quality issues of smart grids. The impedance estimation is used in many power system applicati...

Impedance Profile of a Commercial Power Grid and Test System

An impedance profile of a commercial power grid and a tester power distribution system is developed in this paper. The profile is used to identify the measurable frequency range of the power supply transient signals generated by a chip. Several resistance-capacitance (RC) models of the power grid are analyzed to determine the impact of each capacitance type. The impedance profile of a C4-based ...
