A passivity-based dual-mode integrated control method for a grid-connected inverter (GCI) is provided. In view of the insufficient robustness of the conventional single-mode GCI in a high-impedance and low-inertia weak grid, and the problem of wideband oscillation of the grid voltage and grid current or even system instability in nonlinear application scenarios such as grid structure/parameter variation, and plug-and-play of the inverter, the dual-mode integrated control method performs modeling on the GCI based on a port-controlled Hamiltonian (PCH) model, thereby obtaining integrated control with a weighted passivity-based feedback control law for the GCI based on a grid-following (GFL) mode and a grid-forming (GFM) mode. Based on the dual-mode integrated control method, the stable operation of the GCI in severe grid conditions with large fluctuation of the impedance, and desirable robustness of the GCI in nonlinear working scenarios can be ensured.
