To address the instability risk of grid-forming inverters under large power dispatch in low-inertia and low-damping power grids caused by renewable energy integration, based on the grid-forming inverter connected to an infinite bus system model, transient stability under power dispatch is conducted. The power dispatch boundaries constrained by transient stability are analyzed by the inverter’s output power-angle characteristics and the equal area criterion. To enable on-demand power dispatch for the grid-forming inverter, a power ramp scheduling strategy constrained by transient stability is proposed. Furthermore, to overcome the limitations of variable-step ramp scheduling, such as a prolonged transient duration, significant output waveform overshoot, and the need for real-time computation, an improved scheme employing virtual inertia emulation is presented, along with its parameter design methodology for the inertia emulation block. The response time and overshoot can be effectively reduced. Finally, simulations and experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed equivalent-inertia ramp control scheme in improving system transient stability under power dispatch.
