Abstract

This paper proves that a grid-following converter can stably connect to a weak grid even short-circuit ratio (SCR) is 1. Root instability causes of this grid-following control are identified including fast control response, insufficient damping, and slow voltage support. A simple and effective tuning guideline is proposed to stabilize this connection. Three control modes are considered in this tuning guideline including current control, active power and voltage (PV) control, and active power and reactive power (PQ) control . The switching model of a two-level converter is used for the simulation validation.
