Sumario:This paper discusses that the existing grid codes on the fault ride-through (FRT) opera-tion have certain complications to be implemented in the grid-forming (GFM) converters.In particular, they do not provide a clear guidelines on the suitable prioritization of thepositive- and negative-sequence currents needed for a desired voltage profile during FRToperation. To address this challenge, two FRT controls which are based on (i) voltagebalancing priority, and (ii) voltage magnitude priority are investigated for GFM convert-ers. The former gives priority to the elimination of negative-sequence voltage, while theremaining converter’s capacity is used to increase the positive-sequence voltage. On thecontrary, the latter prioritizes the increase of positive-sequence voltage, while it tries toreduce negative-sequence voltage by using the remaining converter’s capacity. The dynamicperformances of these two FRT controls are thoroughly discussed, and the simulationresults show that depending on the desired voltage profile during fault, one of them canbe implemented.
