Grid-Forming Power Inverters: Control and Applications" is the first book dedicated to address the operation principles, grid codes, modelling and control of grid-forming power inverters. The book discusses initially the need for this technology due to the substantial annual integration of inverter-based renewable energy resources. The key differences between the traditional grid-following and the emerging grid-forming inverters technology are explained. Then, the book explores in detail various related topics to grid-forming power inverters including requirements and grid standards, modelling, control, damping power system oscillations, dynamic stability under large fault events, virtual oscillator-controlled grid-forming inverters, grid-forming inverters interfacing battery energy storage and islanded operation of grid-forming inverters.
