DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Alabama Section eagerly anticipates an illuminating jo
 int presentation by Sudip Manandhar and Joseph Marcrum on &quot;A Future with I
 nverter-Based Resources and Operational Challenges&quot;.\n\nThe generation fle
 et in North America\, much like in other parts of the world\, is undergoin
 g significant changes. In North America alone\, the number of Inverter-Bas
 ed Resources (IBRs) has increased dramatically compared to 10-12 years ago
 . Southern Company&#39;s generation fleet is also gradually transitioning from
  synchronous machines to inverter-based technology. Between 2017 and 2023\
 , Southern Company significantly transformed its generation fleet by conve
 rting to natural gas\, with a corresponding increase in Inverter-Based Res
 ources. Projections indicate a substantial rise in Inverter-Based Resource
 s by 2030\, making them a predominant part of our generation resource mix.
  In this presentation\, we will discuss about Inverter-Based Resources (IB
 Rs) and the system challenges associated with increased IBR penetration.\n
