In 2024, Kehua''s energy storage PCS became the first device to pass comprehensive grid-forming energy storage grid connection performance testing by the China Electric Power Research Institute and the first device to receive certification for grid-forming energy storage inverters from CQC, establishing itself as a true leader in grid-forming
Conventional commercial converters incorporate a current control that does not allow the participation in regulation services, except in some particular cases [4], [5].For this reason, the new concept of grid-forming (GFM) control was developed, to allow power electronic converters to support voltage and frequency and improve angle stability in the grid.

Abstract Most Islands and Microgrids are still relying on conventional thermal generation as their primary source to cover their electric demand. Especially in remote locations electricity from PV and other renewable energies can often be produced at lower costs.
Ideally, during the operation of a grid-forming inverter (as well as the operation of a synchronous machine), the additional current and power flow to the grid in transient situations depends on the difference between the voltage vector of the inverter, the deviating vector of the grid’s voltage and the coupling impedances.
