Aiming at the problem of insufficient quantitative comparative study on the wideband dynamic characteristics of the grid-following/grid-forming converters
this study initially constructs a small-signal model to represent the wideband dynamics of grid-following/grid-forming converters under virtual synchronous control
followed by comprehensive validation in both time and frequency domains. Building upon this foundation
the research employs eigenmode and participation factor analysis to quantitatively assess and compare the wideband dynamic characteristics and stability of the converters
identifying weakly damped eigenmodes and pinpointing critical control parameters. Moreover
utilizing the root locus method
the study quantitatively examines how active support parameters—such as virtual inertia and primary frequency modulation—along with grid strength
influence the dynamic characteristics of the converters and delineates their patterns of variation. Conclusively
the accuracy and validity of the findings are substantiated through the development of a detailed time-domain simulation model of the grid-following and grid-forming converters in Matlab/Simulink.
