SY] 8 Jul 2026  \nAbstract—Grid codes increasingly require grid-forming (GFM) inverters to demonstrate prescribed active-power response to phase-angle jumps at the point of interconnection (POI). This paper shows that such requirements embed an implicit currentoverload mandate whose severity depends on the test parameters but is nowhere made explicit in the specifications. First, an analytic expression for the instantaneous power is derived atan arbitrary measurement point, establishing that a momentary power excursion in the non-opposing direction is an inevitable physical consequence of the phase jump itself, independent of control action. Second, the phase-jump recovery is formulated as a constrained optimal control problem with the characteristic GFM objective of minimizing terminal voltage deviation from the pre-disturbance value while subject to a hard current limit. Asthe plant dynamics are linear and the constraints are convex, the solution constitutes a controller-architecture-independent physical bound on the achievable power-recovery trajectory. Sweeping the current limit, the phase-jump acceptance criterion is converted into an equivalent minimum overload ratio, making the implicit hardware mandate quantitative. The bound is validated against three WECC generic GFM inverter models (REGFM A1, B1, C1) in electromagnetic transient simulations, confirming both validity and tightness of the bound. Recommendations are offered for interpreting compliance test results and for structuring test specifications to distinguish physical hardware limitations from control deficiencies.  \nIndex Terms—Grid-forming control, GFM, phase jump, gridcode compliance, current limiting control  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nThe displacement of synchronous generation by inverterbased resources (IBRs) is fundamentally reshaping the dynamic characteristics of bulk power systems. As IBR penetration grows, system operators confront the loss of attributes that synchronous machines provided intrinsically, such as rotational inertia, fault current contribution, and a selfsynchronizing voltage-source interface with the grid [1], [2] . Grid-forming (GFM) inverter control has emerged as the leading candidate to restore these properties, and several jurisdictions have begun codifying GFM requirements into interconnection standards [3]–[7] .  \nA grid-forming inverter is characterized by its voltage source behind reactance behavior, where the voltage vector’s magnitude and frequency are dynamically regulated locally  \nM A Awal, David Michaud, Mikko Qvintus, and Devin Dilley with EPC Power Corporation, Poway, CA, USA (e-mail: [m.awal@epcpower.com](m.awal@epcpower.com); [david.michaud@epcpower.com](david.michaud@epcpower.com), [mikko.qvintus@epcpower.com](mikko.qvintus@epcpower.com),  \n[bill.giewont@epcpower.com](bill.giewont@epcpower.com), [devin.dilley@epcpower.com](devin.dilley@epcpower.com)).  \nRahul Chakraborty is with Dominion Energy, VA, USA (e-mail: [rahul.chakraborty@dominionenergy.com](rahul.chakraborty@dominionenergy.com)).  \nfollowing droop laws, enabling the device to respond immediately and autonomously to changes in the external grid [5], [8] . This voltage-source behavior stands in contrast to grid-following control, which regulates current injections in response to a measured grid voltage [8], [9] . GFM control structures, such as droop control, virtual synchronous machine (VSM), and virtual oscillator control (VOC), all share the same power-synchronization principle but differ in transient response and implementation details [10]–[13] .  \nAmong the suite of compliance tests now being developed for GFM inverters, the phase-angle-jump test occupies a unique position.
