Grid-Forming Buck-Type Current-Source Inverter Using Hybrid Model-Predictive Control by Gianni Avilan-Losee, Hang Gao

“…The resulting inverter features a simple topology, inherent current limiting capabilities, and a relatively simple and intuitive control structure. Verification was performed on a 1MVA/630V system via MATLAB/Simulink, and the simulation results demonstrate strong performance in voltage establishment, power regulation, and low-voltage ride through under-grid-fault conditions, highlighting its potential as a competent alternative to VSIs in GFM applications, and lacking the inherent limitations and/or complexity of existing GFM control methodologies.…”
