The reduction of physical inertia in power systems represents one of the major trends affecting public grids operations. Under this scenario, it becomes crucial to assess the positive contribution achievable through the application of advanced control strategies to converter-based units at the transmission and distribution levels. In this perspective, this paper analyzes how the introduction of grid-forming control functionalities in STATCOM devices could help toward the stabilization of the network transients and the reduction of inter-area phenomena.
