Webinar: Integration of Inverter Based Resources (IBRs) in Weak Areas of the Power System
Network transformation brings about new challenges in the operation and planning of the power system. One of these challenges is declining system strength across the grid as more conventional generations are being replaced by inverter-based resources (e.g. wind, solar, battery energy storage). This presentation covers the adverse impact of system strength shortfall on the operation and performance of IBRs. In addition, it reviews some of the corrective measures commonly used in industry to address such issues.
