Grid-forming (GFM) inverters are anticipated to play an essential role in facilitating the integration of renewable energy in bulk power systems. The fault response of GFM inverters and its impact on traditional protection schemes are ongoing research topics.
The control structure for grid-forming inverter is like grid-following one (see Fig. 5(b)) except the two inner cascaded loops (voltage and current) and an outer control loop. The reference voltages (V d ∗ and V q ∗) are tracked in the outer loop to generate i d ∗ and i q ∗ for an inner current control loop.
