The existing fusion control schemes focus on the influence of the short circuit ratio on the stability of the converter, ignoring the influence of the active power fluctuation of the renewable energy in the design of the fusion scheme. In order to improve this shortcoming, an adaptive switching control of voltage source converters in the renewable energy station is proposed in this paper. Based on the oscillation characteristics of the grid-following converter and the grid-forming converter, this method selects the operating short circuit ratio as the switching index of the grid-following mode and the grid-forming mode. Compared with the current switching schemes based on the short circuit ratio, the operating short circuit ratio replaces the rated capacity of the station with the active output of the station, so it can more reasonably reflect changes in stability caused by active power fluctuations and then give the appropriate switching command, which means that unnecessary switching can be reduced and the control mode can be correctly converted to enhance stability when the system state changes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym17050629","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,22]],"date-time":"2025-04-22T20:24:52Z","timestamp":1745353492000},"page":"629","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Adaptive Switching Control of Voltage Source Converters in Renewable Energy Station Based on Operating Short Circuit Ratio"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Zhan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electric Power Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510641, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3108-8909","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huangqing","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electric Power Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510641, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenze","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electric Power Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510641, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-6867-8985","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ying","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110571","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijepes.2025.110571","article-title":"Cost-efficient multiport DC circuit breaker with integrated power flow control for HVDC grids","volume":"166","author":"Huang","year":"2025","journal-title":"Int.
