The interconnection stability of a grid-connected voltage-source converter (VSC) can be assessed by the passivity properties of the VSC input admittance. If critical grid resonances fall within regions where the input admittance acts passively, i.e., has nonnegative real part, then their destabilization is generally prevented. This paper presents an overview of passivity-based stability assessment, including techniques for space-vector modeling of VSCs whereby expressions for the input admittance can be derived. Design recommendations for minimizing the negative-real-part region are given as well.
