  The transition to net-zero energy systems can only happen if offshore wind is massively deployed around the world. In Europe, the ambitions related to offshore wind development are quite high, aiming at 120 GW by 2030 and more than 300 GW by 2050 in the North Seas, an immense leap from the existing 30…

Managing uncertainty has always been a central part of electric grid operations, but today’s risks to reliable operations look very different than just a few years ago. Understanding and addressing these risks is vital to meeting our reliability imperative—a responsibility shared by grid operators, utilities, and states to ensure reliability of the electricity system. Over…

At a concert, a band member may break off into a solo to captivate the audience. However, it is the other side of the solo that sets the best bands apart: orchestrating the return of the soloist back to playing as a full band in perfect harmony. The same can be said about the two…

Until recently, practical applications of grid-forming (GFM) inverters were limited to micro and isolated grids and in smaller grid applications on the order of a few tens of megawatts. Over the past 12 months, the landscape has changed rapidly, with more than ten projects on the order of several hundred megawatts being developed worldwide for…

Introduction Let’s face it, accurate and reality-based modeling of the dynamic performance of inverter-based resources is not easy. The quality of the analysis performed, and thus the reliability of the bulk power system (BPS), depends on the accuracy, fidelity, and appropriate parameterization of the models used. The first step to improving inverter-based resource model accuracy…
