Abstract

The dynamic performance of the controllers is crucial in obtaining stability for the power system. This paper proposes a robust interconnection and damping assignment-based passivity controller design using a port-controlled Hamiltonian model with effective dynamic performance, tracking, and power quality compared to a classical controller. Classical control is combined with modern control to compute the required damping resistances of the interconnection and the damping assignmentbased passivity controller to enhance the system stability and robustness. The controller is implemented on a grid-forming converter with load variations, and the system is tested in MATLAB Simulink to validate the dynamic performance of the controller.
