Demonstrating Stability Enhancement in the Danish Grid through Grid Forming STATCOM and BESS Solutions

The performance of grid-forming (GFM) converter solutions, such as battery energy storage system (BESS) and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) has shown notable advantages over conventional technologies such as synchronous condensers and grid-following power plants. A key distinguishing feature of GFM converters, compared to conventional synchronous machine-based solutions, is the tunability of critical response characteristics in terms of the inertia and damping constants as well as virtual impedance. In contrast, these parameters are primarily dictated by the physical design in traditional synchronous machines, limiting their adaptability. These advantages offer substantial benefits in enhancing system stability and resilience, particularly in the context of increasing renewable…
