In the context of high proportion of renewable energy integration
the stability paradigm of power systems is undergoing profound transformation
posing severe challenges to traditional stability mechanisms based on synchronous generators. With their voltage source characteristics and active support capabilities
grid-forming (GFM) technologies
which can emulate key external characteristics of synchronous generators
have emerged as crucial enabling technologies for enhancing the stability of new power systems. This paper systematically analyzes the intrinsic mechanisms and typical applications of GFM technologies in improving multi-dimensional stability. It innovatively proposes a two-dimensional classification framework based on “function orientation - control core” to clarify the essential features and applicable boundaries of numerous technical routes. Addressing prominent issues in current quantitative evaluation of GFM technologies
such as ambiguous classification
disjointed scenarios
and insufficient decision-making basis
this paper constructs a multi-dimensional quantitative evaluation system (MSCSS) encompassing stability contribution
operational scenarios
and control strategies. This system achieves multi-dimensional scientific assessment of GFM technical solutions under complex operating conditions by decoupling dynamic scenarios
quantifying stability contributions
and evaluating strategy compatibility. Thereby
it provides systematic theoretical methods and decision support for technology selection
parameter optimization configuration
and comprehensive benefit evaluation in engineering practice. Finally
this paper prospects future development trends in this field
