Decentralized Control Synthesis in IBR-Dominated Power Systems: A Block Diagonal Dominance Based Approach
Pudong Ge, Muhammad Sharjeel Javaid, Xiaoyu Tan +4
Integrating inverter-based resources (IBRs) from multiple vendors into power systems is challenging because their controllers are typically designed independently, with little coor…
Jacobian Voltage Stiffness Metric -- A Measure of Grid-Forming Capability and System Strength in IBR-Dominated Grids
Ambuj Gupta, Balarko Chaudhuri, Mark O'Malley
As power systems transition toward inverter-based resource (IBR)-dominated grids, traditional system strength definitions and metrics are becoming increasingly inadequate to charac…
Parameterizing Operating-Point-Dependent IBR Using Coherent Operating Regions for Sub-synchronous Oscillation Analysis
Gabriel Covarrubias Maureira, Balarko Chaudhuri, Mark O'Malley
Analysis of sub-synchronous oscillations (SSO) in IBR-dominated grids relies on frequency scan-based estimation of black-box IBR models at selected operating points. Since IBRs may…
Decentralized Stability of IBR-dominated Power Grids Using Block Diagonal Dominance
Youhong Chen, Xiaoyu Tan, Muhammad Sharjeel Javaid +2
The growing penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs) necessitates stability assessment methods that are scalable, decentralized, and model-agnostic. This paper develops a blo…
Frequency-Domain Compliance Assessment of Grid-Forming Devices
Ambuj Gupta, Muhammad Sharjeel Javaid, Balarko Chaudhuri +1
Grid-ForMing Inverters (GFMIs) are expected to provide voltage stiffness to the grid. Explicitly, system operators (SOs) and regulators expect GFMIs to behave like a "voltage sourc…
Equivalent Circuit Modeling of Grid-Forming Inverters in (Sub)-Transient Time-Frame
Ambuj Gupta, Balarko Chaudhuri, Mark O'Malley
The widely accepted definition of grid-forming (GFM) inverter states that it should behave as a (nearly) constant voltage source behind an impedance by maintaining a (nearly) const…
