Electric power systems are undergoing an unprecedented transition from fossil fuel–based
power plants to low-inertia systems that rely predominantly on power electronics and …

Grid-forming (GFM) inverters are dc–ac converters that regulate their ac terminal voltage and
frequency in response to real-time measurements. Recent developments on GFM controls …

The electric power system is currently undergoing a period of unprecedented changes.
Environmental and sustainability concerns lead to replacement of a significant share of …

In this paper, different control approaches for grid-forming inverters are discussed and
compared with the grid-forming properties of synchronous machines. Grid-forming inverters …

Motivated by the recent and growing interest in smart grid technology, we study the
operation of DC/AC inverters in an inductive microgrid. We show that a network of loads and …

Virtual oscillator control (VOC) is a decentralized control strategy for islanded microgrids
where inverters are regulated to emulate the dynamics of weakly nonlinear oscillators …

In this paper, we explore a new approach to synchronization of coupled oscillators. In
contrast to the celebrated Kuramoto model, we do not work in polar coordinates and do not …

This paper examines the dynamics of power-electronic inverters in islanded microgrids that
are controlled to emulate the dynamics of Van der Pol oscillators. The general strategy of …

The large integration of inverter-based resources will significantly alter grid dynamics,
leading to pronounced stability challenges due to fundamental disparities between inverter …

Sufficient conditions are derived for the global asymptotic synchronization of a class of
identical nonlinear oscillators coupled through a linear time-invariant network. In particular …
