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…

Power system operators around the world are pushing the limits of integrating inverter-interfaced generation from wind and solar to very high levels approaching 100%, including in South Australia, Ireland, the Hawaiian Islands, and Great Britain. These and several others have identified the value of grid-forming (GFM) technology as the key enabler to support this transition.…

  New England is in the midst of a radical transformation in how the region consumes and produces electricity. Decarbonizing the economy means residents will rely on the electric grid to charge their vehicles and heat their homes and businesses—and it means clean, renewable resources must supply that power. New England’s clean energy transition has…
