2.2 Grid-forming converter control based on VSG in islanded mode. The basic control principle of a VSG-based grid-forming converter is introduced in the above section, and the control of the grid-forming converter does not require the participation of the PLL, which can independently support the frequency and voltage.
As described in [7], grid-forming converters are equipped with a two-loop control system, which is illustrated in Fig. 1.The inner loop is designed to be much faster than the outer loop and the control gains are chosen according to the tuning procedure presented in [20], so that we achieve a time-scale separation between the network line and outer loop dynamics.
