Universal Interoperable Control Framework for Inverter-Based Resources
October 30 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am
The rapid proliferation of inverter-based resources (IBRs), including both grid-following (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM) topologies, presents significant stability challenges for modern power systems. These challenges are exacerbated by the lack of industry standards for collaborative IBR design, forcing reliance on complex, project-specific modeling and simulations that often fail to guarantee stability across diverse operating conditions. This limitation impedes the seamless, large-scale integration of distributed energy resources (DERs).
This presentation rigorously examines interactions within IBR-dominated grids. A novel specifications-based framework is proposed, leveraging time-scales separation to systematically manage and mitigate adverse interactions. As part of this framework, new control techniques designed to achieve robust, stable performance for GFM IBRs will be <a href="http://discussed.

Additionally, the presentation addresses the parallel trend of increasing high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission, which introduces new challenges in stabilizing coupled AC-DC systems. Preliminary research findings will be presented to explain a few of these emerging stability and control challenges, paving the way for future investigations in this critical <a href="http://area.
