    General Context

    The dynamics of the future power systems with high penetrations of renewable energies will be strongly influenced by their interfaces – the power electronics converters, the behaviour of which are control-dependent and more complex than that of the traditional synchronous machines. Many instability accidents in the grids have been reported in recent years due to converter control interactions. To address this issue, the impedance-based stability modelling has been proposed as an efficient method to gain proper insights into such control interactions and thereby propose mitigation methods. To carry out such modelling, frequency scanning tools are important for properly characterizing the impedance profile of power converters and the development of such tools in EMT simulators is the main task of this internship.
