Abstract

This paper analyzes the damping effects of inner-loop virtual admittance (VA) control, current control (CC), and voltage decoupling (VD) control on grid-forming voltage-source converters. An impedance model is proposed to capture inner-loop dynamics, utilizing equivalent resistance to reflect the damping effect on the dc components of ac voltage/current. It reveals that CC with a finite proportional gain interacts with VA control, resulting in a negative-resistance effect. Increasing the proportional gain of CC and employing VD control can mitigate this negative-resistance effect, while also ensuring that VA control provides a positive-resistance effect. Finally, co-design guidelines for VA-CC-VD control are developed and validated through experimental results.
