Master thesis: Stability of Frequency Control with a Grid Following Inverter - Solvina
Are you approaching the end of your studies and it's time to write your thesis? Why not take the opportunity to do it at Solvina?
During the spring semester 2026, we at Solvina offer a thesis opportunity within Stability of Frequency Control with a Grid Following Inverter! ✨
About the master thesis:
Battery storage with grid following inverters can be used to provide frequency control, for example in the form of synthetic inertia or ancillary services such as FCR-N. However, the power response to a frequency change may affect the phase angle of the connection point in such a way that the frequency measurement is disturbed, which can cause instability. This is particularly a risk in a weak or islanded grid. The practical stability limits for different frequency control responses have been investigated in a previous master thesis at Solvina. Now is the time to put theory into practice.
Thesis Description
This thesis aims to:
1) Verify the previous results regarding stability in the frequency response control loop. This is done by implementing the response in a grid forming inverter in a lab, and hands-on testing with different grid conditions.
2) Develop a user interface for the inverter control such that frequency control with a grid forming inverter can be demonstrated for education purpose.

For this thesis we are looking for one or two students with the following background:
✔MSc student within Electric Power Engineering or similar.
Special interest in the following areas is meriting and will be considered:
✔Power grid dynamics
