Abstract

Grid-following control (GFL) has been widely implemented as the dominant control method for inverter-based resources (IBR). However, because GFL cannot provide sufficient inertia for frequency regulation, grid-forming control (GFM) is proposed as an alternative solution. However, the impact of grid dynamics characteristics on GFL and GFM control is rarely discussed. Therefore, this paper systematically derives and compares the frequency response of GFL and GFM control, considering the grid dynamics that are emulated by a synchronous generator. The impact of the inertia of GFM is investigated by pole-zero maps.
