The objective of this task force is to develop an understanding of system need and the options for stable operation of future power systems with a very high share of inverter-based generation like wind, solar and storage, and a roadmap for making the transition from the power system of today to a future one dominated by inverter-based generation, working with research organizations, OEMs, and system operators to build a consensus.
Current work underway:
- Next Step: Exploring needs and capabilities for integration of planning processes and studies
Ongoing Work:
Grid Forming Landscape Resources
This set of webpages is continuation of the Grid-Forming Technology in Energy Systems Integration Report and tracks progress on grid-forming technology development and deployment including installed projects, specifications, modeling, and studies on the technology’s benefits.
Completed Work:
Grid-Forming Technology in Energy Systems Integration
Existing grid-following IBRs provide some services currently, but as IBR levels rise, new advanced inverter controls—termed grid-forming (GFM)—will be needed to maintain system stability.
