Its formulation and application rely on the quasi-steady-state assumption critically, i.e., the active power can converge to its steady-state across the entire angle space in both a stable and fast manner. Despite this assumption is intuitively perceivable, it lacks sufficient clarification, particularly on underlying behaviors if violated. To this end, this paper uncovers a new phenomenon on the non-uniform convergence of the VA-PAC. To achieve this, an eigen-sweep-based analysis of the full-order VA-PAC model with detailed controls is conducted, by which the existence of this issue is theoretically confirmed. On this basis, the open-loop stability and response-rate conditions of the full-order VA-PAC model for ensuring its convergence are clarified. Findings of this work can provide deeper insights into the existing TSS analyses of GFM converters, and are expected to provoke new analyses.  \nIndex Terms—converter, grid forming, virtual admittance, transient stability, power angle, current constrained.  \nI. INTRODUCTION GRID-forming (GFM) converters are  \npromising technique for operating the  \nregarded as one  \nrenewable power  \ngenerations (RPGs)-dominated power systems. Given its significance, dynamic issues of the GFM converter, ranging from the grid support function to the transient synchronization stability (TSS), etc., have been widely studied. Among these, the TSS, as a fundamental issue in power system operation, has attracted particular attention lately.  \nAnalysis of the GFM converter’s TSS issue is closely related to that of synchronous generator (SG), as the GFM converter is intentionally designed to mimic the dominant behavior of the SG. Under this context, a series of SG-inspired TSS analysis methods, e.g., the equal area criterion (EAC) [1]-[3], the energy function [4], etc., have been developed. For these methods, the power angle curve (PAC) serves as an essential tool. However, the PAC of the GFM converter is fundamentally different from  \nThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 52577207.

Once being activated, an abrupt change in the PAC will occur, depending on the limitation strategy. For example, GFM converters’ PACs using the circular-based and the d-axis priority-based limitation strategies are reported in [4] and [5], etc., respectively.  \nAlthough these PACs [4], [5] are well developed, they rely on quasi-steady-state assumptions. This means, these PACs are valid if and only if the dynamics associated with the circuit and inner-loop current control are adequately fast. However, there lacks a formal clarification on the conditions for which the actual PAC can converge to its steady-state. While, apparently, this clarification is significant for understanding the existing PAC-based TSS analyses’ applicability and limitations. To fill this gap, this letter will reveal a new phenomenon associated with the convergence issue of the PAC along with a formal theoretical justification.
