This thesis investigates current limiting strategies aimed at protecting inverters from overheating or undesired tripping. The primary focus is on understanding the implications of the current limiter on the overall system performance and developing methodologies to mitigate any adverse effects on the outer control loops.
The altered inverter dynamic behavior resulting from current limiting can affect the system. For instance, the change in inverter output terminal behaviors can translate to network-wide attributes, such as power system protection, transient stability, voltage support, and grid synchronization.
Fault induced will lead to overcurrents in grid forming inverters. Current limiting strategies are classified into voltage and current-based strategies. Transient current, current contribution and stability will depend on the strategy. Transient enhancing strategies are used to ensure the stability during faults.
These devices regulate the flow of electrical current, ensuring it remains within safe operational limits. There are three main approaches to current limiting in GFM inverters: direct, indirect, and hybrid methods. These current limiters can be implemented at different stages, as shown in Fig. 2.
