One of the most effective ways to damp electromechanical oscillations in power systems is by means of supplementary controllers attached to the different devices in the power system, specifically power oscillation damping (POD) controllers in facilities with power converters. The objective of this paper is to provide guidelines for the implementation of POD controllers in real-world power systems. A synthetic test system and a systematic methodology from Spanish technical standards are employed to establish compliance criteria for POD controllers, taking into account practical considerations. The results are backed by numerical examples demonstrating the compliance criteria through simulations of a generic power converter using grid-following (GFL) control. Different scenarios analyzing POD controllers with modulation of active power (POD-P), reactive power (POD-Q), or a combination of both (POD-PQ) are discussed. Results show that with appropriate methodologies and adherence to compliance criteria, POD controllers in power converters can effectively damp electromechanical oscillations in large-scale power systems.
