Abstract
A method for operating a renewable energy source having an inverter-based resource (IBR) system connected to a power grid includes: operating the IBR system as a virtual synchronous machine (VSM) in grid-forming mode (GFM) control; deriving a power error signal (P) between an actual real power output (Pfbk) from the IBR system and a power reference (P); with an inertial power regulator, using the power error signal (P) to generate a power angle command signal received by a voltage regulator; with the voltage regulator, generating an x-direction current command (IRCmdx) signal and a y-direction current command (IRCmdy) signal that are both received by a current regulator; and generating and adding a delta x-direction current (ΔIRx) component to the (IRCmdx) signal.
