What is a BPS-connected inverter-based resource (IBR)?
The rapid interconnection of bulk power system (BPS)-connected inverter-based resources (IBR)1 is the most significant driver of grid transformation and poses a high risk to BPS reliability.2 The speed of this change continues to challenge grid planners, operators, protection engineers, and many other facets of the electricity sector.
Is inverter technology good for BPS?
Implemented correctly, inverter technology can provide significant benefits for the BPS; however, the new technology can introduce significant risks if not integrated properly.
What are inverter-based resources?
Inverter-based resources are now found everywhere across the bulk power system (BPS) in North America and are the most significant driver of grid transformation today. This short guide is intended to help educate industry, policymakers, and other stakeholders by providing a basic understanding of inverter technology and inverter-based resources.
How will inverter-based resources affect the electric grid?
As the resource portfolios of electric utilities evolve, become more distributed, and include more Inverter-Based Resources (IBR), the electrical grid will respond differently to both routine and unexpected actions.
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.
