HYBRID ANGLE CONTROL FOR POWER CONVERTERS IN LOW-INERTIA SYSTEMS
This project aims to explore the theoretical extensions, the conservativeness of the stability condition, angle feedback variants, and optimal tuning for the grid-forming hybrid angle control of the power converters in the low-inertia power systems.
Keywords: Control Systems, Power Systems, Low-inertia Power Systems, Power Electronics
An inevitable consequence of the global power system transition towards a nearly 100% renewable-based grid is the replacement of bulk synchronous generators with renewable energy-driven converter interfaced generation. The gradual transformation of the power grid to a low-inertia system leads to critical challenges in maintaining system stability. The so-called grid-forming converters are expected to address these challenges and replicate functionalities which so far have been provided by generators.

This project aims to explore the theoretical extensions, the conservativeness of the stability condition, angle feedback variants, and optimal tuning for the grid-forming hybrid angle control (see the link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.07661 ). Furthermore, it is also possible to investigate the stability of interconnected power converters under hybrid angle control.
The project can be adapted on the run if new interesting research directions arise.
**Corona Disclaimer:** This project can be done in person at the Automatic Control Laboratory, hybrid, or completely remotely. Most importantly, we can change between these forms whenever needed.
Finally, if the results are promising they can be turned into a publication.
