Abstract

The growing interest in the integration of variable renewable energy (VRE) and distributed energy resources (DER) on both policy and economic grounds is driving the transformation of electric power systems. The significant deployment of VRE and DER can effectively displace the conventional synchronous generator-based power plants that for decades have been the foundation for power system generation and stability in electric power systems. Inverter-based resources (IBRs) introduce a high-level of uncertainty, variability, and complexity into the operation of electric power networks, and the transformation to IBRs raises a wide range of technical questions and operational challenges. The optimal coordination and control of these resources requires greater interoperability and necessitates significant upgrades of grid automation, including real-time monitoring.
