Abstract

Current grid code has explicit requirement on the fault current injection profile of grid-following voltage-source converters (GFL-VSCs), i.e., the output reactive current of GFL-VSC needs to be proportional to voltage- magnitude deviation at the point of connection (PoC) until its current limitation is reached. This article points out that such way of injecting the fault current may result in transient overvoltage (TOV) at the PoC during fault recovery, and the rate of change of current reference of GFL-VSC is critical to the duration of TOV. Moreover, a method for estimating the maximum magnitude of TOV is presented, which provides an intuitive insight for the TOV phenomenon.
