Abstract:The shift to renewable-dominated power systems has produced low-inertia grids, undermining system stability. In this context, grid-forming inverters (GFMs) have emerged as a promising solution. However, GFMs challenge conventional analysis techniques, especially those relying on small-signal or root-mean-square (RMS) models. Such models rely on linearization and sinusoidal steady-state assumptions, which fail in large-signal cases. Stability of GFM-based systems therefore becomes operating-point dependent, and a feasible operating point may not even exist. While large-signal analyses are available, decentralized certification of operating-point convergence with explicit transient guarantees, such as rate and overshoot, remains rare. This paper proposes an algebraic, decentralized contraction-based framework. The proposed contraction stability analysis certifies system stability and convergence to desired operating points. The method works in the time domain and captures nonlinear, large-signal behavior of synchronization and power-sharing mechanisms. Moreover, the contraction rate provides an explicit bound on transient time: trajectories converge exponentially to the new operating point at a controlled rate, yielding computable contraction regions that certify stability and large-signal convergence across operating-point changes. These regions directly guide parameter tuning for heterogeneous GFMs.
