Grid-Forming Converters: Principles, Control, and Applications in Modern Power Systems

By Heng Wu, Jia Liu, Jingyang Fang

Grid-Forming Converters: Principles, Control, and Applications in Modern Power Systems is a pioneering guidebook to this state-of-the-art technology and its potential in enabling more-electronics grids and deep renewable integration for the energy systems of the future. Beginning with a clear explanation of the challenges presented for the standard synchronous generator or grid-tied converters by fossil-fuel phase-out and renewable integration, this book goes on to explain the fundamental concepts of grid-forming converters.

Having established a solid foundational understanding the reader will learn practical techniques for implementation including design, control, analysis, and optimization. Finally, readers tackle case studies and example applications from energy storage to electric vehicles. From several of the foremost experts and educators in energy systems and power electronics, Grid-Forming Converters is an essential tool for students, professors and engineers working to make renewable-based grids a reality.
