    Analysis of the active inertia power provided by grid-forming strategies during a RoCoF
    (IEEE, 2024-08-30) Urtasun Salinas, Ibai; Urtasun Erburu, Andoni; Bautista Portillo, Guillermo Antonio; Marroyo Palomo, Luis; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, PJUPNA2024-11695
    Power electronic-based generators are becoming increasingly prevalent in the electrical grid, necessitating their support in disturbances previously handled only by synchronous generators. One of the tests proposed by regulations is to evaluate the response of grid-forming inverters to a Rate of Change of Frequency (RoCoF). However, there is no detailed analysis of the effect of control parameters on the active inertia power. This article presents the temporal response equation of an inverter subject to a RoCoF and introduces the concept of equivalent inertia showing that it also depends on the damping factor. Thanks to this analysis and the flexibility of inverters, the parameter design of existing grid-forming strategies is proposed to achieve the desired active inertia power and system damping ratio. Theoretical analysis and control strategies have been validated by simulation.

    Optimized DFIG electrical design under voltage sags
    (IEEE, 2021) Urtasun Salinas, Ibai; Larrea León, Pablo; López Taberna, Jesús; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    This paper addresses the dual problem (electrical-mechanical) of DFIG-based wind turbines under voltage sags and proposes an optimized solution that, starting from a design aimed to mitigate the mechanical loads in the structural components of the wind turbine, provides the electrical capability to meet the most demanding grid codes.

    High-dynamics P-E and Q-f control of PV inverters for strong and weak grids
    (IEEE, 2023-08-31) Urtasun Salinas, Ibai; Urtasun Erburu, Andoni; Marroyo Palomo, Luis; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    The increase of power electronic-based generators is causing the replacement of synchronous generators, which poses new challenges to electrical grid stability. In particular, when grid-following inverters are connected to weak grids, stability problems related to the PLL used for synchronization arise. To address this issue, grid-forming controls are widely proposed. However, the conventional implementations, such as droop control or virtual synchronous generator, lead to slow power controls, which are not suitable for photovoltaic systems with no storage. Thus, to improve the control dynamics, this paper proposes a new P-E and Q-f control. This control uses the reactive power for grid synchronization, avoiding the use of a PLL, and is valid for both inductive and resistive lines. Furthermore, thanks to the controller design developed in the paper, the control remains rapid and stable for very weak grids. Simulation results validates the control design and shows that the proposed control is much faster than the droop control for all types of grids.
