Abstract
This talk will provide an overview of two major Inverter Based Resource (IBR) events occurring on May 9th, 2021 and June 4th, 2022, originating in West Texas, informally known as the “Odessa Events”. These events resulted in the tripping of numerous inverter based generators in West Texas on the ERCOT system. The scope of this discussion will include:
- Details concerning the origin and impact of each event
