Popis: Synchronized operation of generators in a power network is paramount to the stability and reliability of energy delivery. In this paper, we address the synchronization problem in a heterogeneous power grid, consisting of both synchronous generators and inverter-based generators, and derive the necessary and sufficient condition guaranteeing the existence of a unique locally stable synchronized mode. Further, our results have implications for utilizing grid-following inverters versus grid-forming inverters in order to enhance network stability. This work is of particular importance as power grids around the world are undergoing a transition from being predominantly composed of synchronous generators towards a grid consisting of a preponderance of inverter based generators.
