Integrating Grid-Following Inverters (GFLs) into power systems presents significant stability challenges, particularly in systems with reduced strength and high renewable energy penetration. This study delves into the dynamic interactions between parallel synchronous generators (SGs) and GFLs, highlighting the impact of reduced system inertia and transient stability margins. A novel DC bus controller is proposed to enhance the inertia and stability of GFLs during grid disturbances by dynamically adjusting power references based on load demand. Through mathematical modelling, small signal analysis, and MATLAB simulations, the study evaluates the effects of inverter-based resources (IBRs) on power system stability. The proposed GFL configuration demonstrates improved stability control, achieving an 80 % increase in stability under weak grid conditions. This paper provides insights into optimized control strategies, emphasizing the importance of power-sharing participation factors (PSPF) for effective GFL integration in modern power systems with high renewable energy penetration.
