The shift to inverter-based power supplies, such as renewables and batteries, is reshaping power electronics in modern grids. Unlike traditional synchronous generators, these systems face challenges in voltage and frequency control.. This whitepaper discusses grid-forming for converters. Grid-forming technology enhances stability and security by providing flexible responses to disturbances. As distributed generation rises, reliance on synchronous machines decreases, increasing the risk of voltage instability. Grid-forming inverters maintain an internal voltage phasor, enabling rapid response to changes. Understanding grid-forming versus grid-following controls is essential for optimizing grid reliability.
