Abstract
The stability of an HVDC transmission network is very important for the reliable transfer of power from renewable energy resources. Therefore, this paper proposes a region of attraction stability analysis method for grid-forming-based modular multilevel converters. The grid forming control uses a model predictive control-based controller for the inner current loop. The stability analysis is carried out using the direct Lyapunov method. For the model predictive control, the modified version of the cost function is used; the same function is also used as the cost function for the direct Lyapunov method. Furthermore, the boundaries formed by the limiters and Lyapunov function entirely explain transient event behavior.
