Description
Summary:With the sustained increase in the penetration rate of grid-forming (GFM) converters in power systems, problems such as overcurrent and transient instability during system faults have drawn significant attention. This paper proposes an enhanced dynamic dq-axis current-limiting strategy (ED-CLiS) for GFM converters, which improves transient stability across all stages before and after current limiting. First, a dynamic dq-axis current-limiting strategy (D-CLiS) is proposed. This strategy regulates the power angle to prevent it from going out of control during current limiting, which is achieved by controlling the <tex>$d$</tex>- and <tex>$q$</tex>-axis current reference values to reshape the <tex>${P}-\delta^{\prime}$</tex> curve. Additionally, a large reverse acceleration area can induce excessive angle <tex>$\delta^{\prime}$</tex> swings, causing the D-CLiS to be triggered repeatedly and resulting in converter instability after the control exit, even without faults. A reference power control structure (RPCS) is proposed, which suppresses the phenomenon by adjusting the power reference value to control the converter&#x0027;s reverse acceleration area. Finally, the control strategy is verified through simulations.
