Abstract
In this paper, the explicit state-space model for a multi-inverter system including grid-following inverter-based generators (IBGs) and grid-forming IBGs is developed by the two-level component connection method (CCM), which modularized inverter control blocks at the primary level and IBGs at the secondary level. Based on the comprehensive state-space model representing full order of system dynamics, eigenvalues of the overall system are thoroughly analyzed, identifying potential adverse impacts of not only grid-following inverters, but also grid forming inverters on the system small- signal stability, with the underlying principle of oscillations also understood. Numerical and simulation results validate effectiveness of the proposed methodology on IEEE benchmarking 39-bus system
