Grid-forming converters (GFC) establish a stable and controllable voltage at their output terminal without requiring external angle reference, which enables the GFC to be a candidate for providing black start services. The inherent voltage and frequency regulation attributes of GFC pose significant challenges to the conventional validation and testing methods, which incorporate the physical power converter in the emulated power grid.
The proposed workshop will focus on challenges related to the validation and testing of GFC. International speakers will present methodologies-related research results, entailing the design and optimization of methods that are dedicated to the robust and high-fidelity testing of GFC. In addition, a hands-on demonstration of GFC at the AIT Microgrid Laboratory will conclude the program.
