Welcome to Grid-Forming Inverters: Principles and Practices (2021)
The course will be held as a hybrid form with both in-person and online
Description: Inverter-based generation and transmission systems are vastly used in modern power grids, driven by the sharp cost reduction of renewable energy resources and the advances of power electronics technology. To secure a stable inverter-based power system, the grid-forming control is increasingly used with grid-connected inverters, who operate as voltage sources to regulate the grid voltage and frequency. There is thus an important need to address this timely and important topic among both power electronics and power system engineers and researchers. This course intends to provide a systematic discussion on the principles and design practices of grid-forming inverters.
Organizer: Professor Xiongfei Wang - xwa@et.aau.dk
Lecturers: Professor Pedro Rodriguez, University of Loyola, Spain
Professor Xiongfei Wang, Aalborg University
ECTS: 3.0
Time: 13-15 December 2021
Place: Aalborg University and online
Zip code: 9220
City: Aalborg
Number of seats: 60
Deadline: 22 November 2021
Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.

The main topics include, but not limited to:
- Grid-synchronization of inverters
- From synchronous generators to grid-forming inverters
- Overview of virtual synchronous generators
- Synchronous power control – damping, inertia and virtual impedance
- Small-signal modeling and stability analysis
- Design-oriented transient stability analysis
- Active damping of power oscillations
