The accelerating deployment of renewable generation —particularly wind and solar—combined with the growing demand from lar ge-scale data centers\, is driving unprecedented levels of IBR penetration across the grid. This shift toward power electronics–dominated resource s introduces new dynamics that differ fundamentally from traditional synch ronous machines.\n\nUnderstanding how to model\, analyze\, and control the se resources is essential for maintaining system reliability and stability . IBRs rely on fast-acting control systems\, and their interactions with t he grid can introduce complex behaviors\, particularly in weak system cond itions or during disturbances.\n\nThis training session provides a structu red and practical introduction to the modeling and control of IBRs in mode rn power systems. The course begins with a review of control system fundam entals\, including key concepts such as transfer functions\, stability ana lysis techniques (Bode\, Root Locus\, and Nyquist)\, and small-signal beha vior. It then connects these principles to real-world power system applica tions\, including frequency response\, voltage control\, and power system stabilization.\n\nParticipants will explore common instability mechanisms associated with high IBR penetration\, including grid-related interactions (e.g.\, weak grid conditions\, sub-synchronous control interactions\, and harmonics)\, IBR-to-IBR interactions\, and interactions with synchronous machines. The training also provides an overview of current industry model ing requirements\, including relevant NERC reliability standards and recen t regulatory developments\, along with guidance on model selection and the use of both phasor-domain and EMT simulation tools.\n\nDesigned for engin eers involved in system planning\, operations\, and interconnection studie s\, this session combines foundational theory with practical insights to h elp participants better understand and address the challenges associated w ith integrating IBRs into today’s evolving power systems.\n\nSpeaker(s): Matt\, \n\nAgenda: \n- Introduction to Control Systems (30 min)\n- Purpos e and Objective of this Tutorial - focus on small-signal (v. large signal) \n- History\n- Present Day\n- FutureTrends\n\n- Basic Control System Theor y (45 mins)\n- Transfer Functions – LaPlace refresher\, Open Loop / Clos ed Loop\n- Analysis - Bode\, Root Locus\, Nyquist\, Stability Margin Metri cs\n\n- Applications in Power Systems (50 mins)\n- Frequency Response / Sp eed Control\n- Voltage Control\n- Power System Stabilization (PSS)\n\n- Po tential Instabilities & Examples (50 mins)\n- IBR - Grid Instability (Weak grid\, SSCI\, Harmonic)\n- IBR - IBR Instability (Sub-Sync or SuperSync)\ n- IBR - SM instability (SSTI)\n\n- Modeling & Requirements Overview (50 m ins)\n- Overview of Modeling Requirements from NERC Reliability Standards & recent FERC Orders\n- Model applicability and selection\n- IBR Modeling in Phasor Domain and EMT Software Platforms\n\n- Summary (15 mins)\n\nVirt ual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/554055 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/554055 ORGANIZER:twkay60103@yahoo.com SEQUENCE:95 SUMMARY:Modeling and Simulation of Inverter Based Resources and their Contr ols - a four hour virtual seminar.
