  • Publication number: 20250105626
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of power electronics converters and discloses a grid-forming energy storage converter on/off-grid switching control method and system, where the method includes the following steps: S1: using a single-loop power control strategy in an off-grid state when an on-grid relay of target energy storage drops out; S2: using a parallel virtual impedance loop-based power control strategy in a transient on-grid state when the on-grid relay of target energy storage pulls in; and S3: using a cascaded dual-loop power control strategy with a virtual admittance voltage loop and an inner current loop when a stable on-grid state is established. The present invention solves the problems of large current impact and unstable switching process state in the existing working strategy for on/off-grid switching in the prior art.
