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…

We have reached a key moment in the energy transition. Regulators, system operators, standardization bodies, and research institutions have reached consensus that a decarbonized system will necessarily consist of inverter-based resources (IBRs) and that an inverter-based system needs grid-forming (GFM ) technology to be stable. In line with this understanding, there has been significant development…

An estimated 427 GW of battery storage capacity was in the interconnection queues around the U.S. as of the end of 2021. In the absence of any incentives or requirements for more advanced control capabilities, all of these resources are being planned with conventional grid-following (GFL) controls. Some of these batteries will be built in…
