Exploratory Electromagnetic Transient Study on the adoption of grid forming (GFM) battery energy storage system (BESS) technology
Attendees can receive One PDH.
This presentation discusses an exploratory electromagnetic transient (EMT) study of the potential reliability and stability benefits of more widespread adoption of grid forming (GFM) battery energy storage system (BESS) technology. The study tests actual original equipment manufacturer (OEM) models against the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) GFM functional specifications, and then tests the reliability performance, benefits, implications, and challenges of widespread adoption of GFM BESS on an actual power system under a range of operating conditions and contingencies.
