Historically, photovoltaic inverters have been grid-following controlled, but with increasing
penetrations of inverter-based generation on the grid, grid-forming inverters (GFMI) are
gaining interest. GFMIs can also be used in microgrids that require the ability to interact and
operate with the grid (grid-tied), or to operate autonomously (islanded) while supplying their
corresponding loads. This approach can substantially improve the response of the grid to

Historically, photovoltaic inverters have been grid-following controlled, but with increasing penetrations of inverter-based generation on the grid, grid-forming inverters (GFMI) are gaining interest. GFMIs can also be used in microgrids that require the ability to interact and operate with the grid (grid-tied), or to operate autonomously (islanded) while supplying their corresponding loads. This approach can substantially improve the response of the grid to severe contingencies such as hurricanes, or to high load demands. During islanded conditions, GFMIs play an important role on dictating the system's voltage and frequency the same way as synchronous generators do in large interconnected systems. For this reason, it is important to understand the behavior of such grid-forming inverters under fault scenarios. This paper focuses on testing different commercially available grid-forming inverters under fault conditions.
