DESCRIPTION:Massive penetration of variable renewable energy (RE) in additi
 on to other distributed energy resources (DER) poses major operational cha
 llenges to utility system operators. Traditionally\, power system operatio
 n assumes synchronous generators provide frequency stability via their sto
 red kinetic energy. With increasing inverter-based sources the system’s 
 inertia is reduced and frequency stability becomes a concern. This increas
 ed penetration represents ground zero for the disruption of the global ene
 rgy landscape caused by DER. The overarching objective of our work is to t
 ransform 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.\n\nSpeaker(s): Bob Lasseter\, \n\nAgenda: \n11

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>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 st
 ability via their stored kinetic energy. With increasing inverter-based so
 urces the system&rsquo\;s inertia is reduced and frequency stability becom
 es a concern. This increased penetration represents ground zero for the di
 sruption of the global energy landscape caused by DER. The overarching obj
 ective 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.</p><br /><br />Agend
