Summary: With the rapid integration of renewable energy sources, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, and power electronic-interfaced loads, modern power systems are increasingly dominated by power electronic converters. While these devices enable efficient energy conversion and enhanced controllability, they also introduce new challenges to system stability, including both steady-state and dynamic instability phenomena such as oscillations, resonance, and synchronization issues. This session focuses on the mechanisms, modeling, and mitigation of instability induced by power electronic devices in AC/DC grids, emphasizing how converter control interactions, grid-following/grid-forming behaviors, and network characteristics can lead to instability in high-penetration scenarios. The goal is to advance methods for analyzing, predicting, and suppressing these instability issues to ensure reliable operation of future converter-dominated power systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1. Modeling and analysis of converter-driven stability in weak grids
2. Grid-forming converter control for stability enhancement
3. Sub-synchronous and high-frequency oscillation mechanisms and damping
4. Stability of hybrid AC/DC grids with multiple converter resources
5. Impedance-based stability analysis and shaping techniques
6. Synchronization instability under grid faults and disturbances
7. Control interactions in wind and solar power plants
8. Stability-aware converter design and parameter optimization
9. Real-time stability assessment and monitoring tools
10. Standards and grid codes for stability in power-electronics-rich systems
