Abstract
A method for operating an asynchronous inverter-based resource connected to a power grid as a virtual synchronous machine to provide grid-forming control thereof includes receiving a frequency reference command and/or a voltage reference command. The method also includes determining at least one power reference signal for the inverter-based resource based on the frequency reference command and/or the voltage reference command. Further, the method includes generating at least one current vector using the power reference signal(s). Moreover, the method includes determining one or more voltage control commands for the inverter-based resource using the at least one current vector. In addition, the method includes controlling the inverter-based resource based on the one or more voltage control commands such that the inverter-based resource actively participates in controlling at least one of voltage and frequency at a point of interconnection between the inverter-based resource and the power grid in a closed loop manner.
