摘　　要：To address the global climate crisis,achieving energy transitions is imperative.Establishing a new-type power system is a key measure to achieve CO_(2) emissions peaking and carbon neutrality.The core goal is to transform renewable energy resources into primary power sources.The large-scale integration of high proportions of renewable energy sources and power electronic devices will dramatically change the operational mechanisms and control strategies of power systems.Existing wind and solar converters mostly adopt the grid-following control mode,which leads to significant challenges in system security and stability as it is insufficient to support the frequency and voltage of the grid.On the other hand,grid-forming control technology(GFM)can provide voltage and frequency support for the system,and thus becomes an effective measure to improve the inertia and damping characteristics of power systems.This paper illustrates the principles,control strategies,equipment types,application scenarios,and project implementation of grid-forming technology.The simulation and analysis based on a renewable-dominated real new-type power system show that GFM can significantly enhance the frequency and voltage support capacity of the power system,improve renewable energy accommodation capacity and grid transmission capacity under weak grid conditions,and play an important role in enhancing the stability and power supply reliability of renewable-dominated new-type power systems.
