The grid-following (GFL) converters can operate stably in stiff grids but are susceptible to oscillation risks in weak grids. Conversely
grid-forming (GFM) converters demonstrate stable operation under weak grids but may become unstable when connected to a very strong grid. To enhance the converters' oscillatory stability under both strong and weak grids
this paper proposes an adaptive hybrid control that combines the advantages of both GFL and GFM control strategies. First
the paper introduces hybrid synchronization control
which can adjust the GFL/GFM characteristics of the converter in response to short-circuit ratio (SCR). Then
the impedance model is derived to reveal how the proposed control enhances the oscillatory stability of the converter under strong and weak grids. Finally
impedance analysis and electromagnetic transient simulation are carried out to analyze the oscillatory characteristics of the proposed control. The results indicate that the proposed control can exhibit superior oscillatory stability over a wide range of SCRs (1 ≤ SCR ≤ 50) and demonstrate improved small-signal behaviors under ultra-weak grids as well as stiff grids compared to GFL and GFM controls.
