Power Converter Circuit and Control Design with Simscape

Overview 

With the rise of power electronics converter-based resources and the gradual reduction in numbers of synchronous machines, contemporary power systems face challenges with low inertia and limited short-circuit current capacity. Grid-forming converters (GFM) offer the inherent benefits of traditional synchronous machines, including inertia, damping, fault current, active power control, and reactive power control which enables stable operation against various system disturbances and provide black start capability.

In this webinar, you will learn how to model generic GFM converters and do performance evaluation with analysis such as transient response analysis. 

Highlights

• Designing GFM and to show its response in varied grid condition and compliance to the standard.
• Workflow from design to testing of grid-forming control.
