| Title | Design and Control of Grid-Forming Converters |
| Summary | As part of the global effort to reduce carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality, renewable energy systems are increasingly replacing traditional fossil fuel-based power generators. However, unlike conventional systems, renewable energy sources lack mechanical rotating structures that synchronize with the power grid, which can lead to grid stability issues, especially as renewable energy penetration increases. This project aims to study the fundamental principles and control strategies of Grid-Forming Converters, with a focus on understanding how these systems can contribute to improving grid stability in renewable energy power systems. The student will perform theoretical modeling, simulations, and hardware-in-the-loop testing to design and evaluate grid-forming converters. |
