Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Download Q&A Responses Featured Speaker: Shahil Shah, Senior Engineer, NREL Shahil Shah About the Webinar: Dynamic stability is a major concern in operating power systems with high levels of inverter-based resources (IBRs). Dynamic stability problems in IBR grids manifest as oscillations or control interactions that are observed either locally between a few IBRs or span a wider network involving tens to hundreds of IBRs. It is quite challenging to evaluate the stability of IBR grids…
