Alberto Rodríguez Cabero has developed the following work during his participation as a pre-doctoral researcher in PROMINT:

• Small-signal modelling of distribution power grids with high penetration of generation based on power electronics.

• Detailed analysis of the impact of switching dead time and control delays on the stability of power electronic converters.

• Small-signal modelling and design guidance of power electronic converters with control based on Virtual Synchronous Machine (grid-forming) emulation with virtual admittance.

• Design of control systems based on the concepts of common and differential power for VSC-HVDC links, capable of providing damping of electromechanical oscillation modes.
