Grid-Forming Inverters: A Critical Asset for the Power Grid
Massive penetration of variable renewable energy (RE) in addition to other distributed energy resources (DER) poses major operational challenges to utility system operators. Traditionally, power system operation assumes synchronous generators provide frequency stability via their stored kinetic energy. With increasing inverter-based sources the system’s inertia is reduced and frequency stability becomes a concern. This increased penetration represents ground zero for the disruption of the global energy landscape caused by DER. The overarching objective of our work is to transform the installation of very large numbers of inverter based sources from a major potential liability into a critical asset for both the power grid and utility customers.
