| Abstract | The advent of renewable energy has posed difficulties in the operation of power systems whose net inertia is becoming critically low. To face such challenges, grid-forming power has been one of the potential solutions pursued by the industry and research community. Though promising, grid-forming power converters are still immature for mass deployment in power systems. In the meanwhile, an enormous amount of grid-following power converters has been underexploited when it comes to grid-supporting functionalities. Therefore, this paper proposes an external inertia emulation controller (eIEC) for grid-following power converter to provide frequency support to the grid. For the purpose of minimizing installation efforts and resources, the controller is designed in such a way that it can be implemented in an external controller communicating with the grid-following power converter via an industrial communication link. This paper also investigates the effect of communication delay on the stability performance of the proposed controller. In addition to the detailed analysis, hardware-in-the-loop experiments are also carried out to validate the proposed eIEC IEEE |
