What is an inverter based resource?
NERC uses the term “inverter-based resource” to refer generally to BPS-connected facilities that have a power electronic interface between the ac grid and the source of electricity.

What are new grid operations and services paradigms?
New grid operations and services paradigms, such as generation coordination of large numbers of DER with different ownership, will challenge and alter existing operational processes and will drive new and different performance characteristics of the communication channels.
How can communications support the grid of the future?
Ensuring the reliable and resilient delivery of electrical energy is critical for the U.S. economy, which increasingly relies on secure communications systems to support grid operations. Adapting to the grid of the future requires a comprehensive understanding of the differences between communication technologies that support grid operations.
What is phasor control in GFM IBR?
In GFM IBR, the voltage phasor is controlled to maintain synchronism with other devices in the grid while regulating the active and reactive power appropriately to support the grid.
Could rogue communication devices destroy the power grid?
Using the rogue communication devices to skirt firewalls and switch off inverters remotely, or change their settings, could destabilise power grids, damage energy infrastructure, and trigger widespread blackouts, experts said. "That effectively means there is a built-in way to physically destroy the grid," one of the people said,
How do different customer bases influence grid utility operations?
Different customer bases, including residential, commercial, and industrial users, influence grid utility operations. Industrial-heavy regions may focus on high reliability and power quality, while residential areas emphasize energy efficiency and demand management.
