A research team from Swiss research institute ETH Zurich has created a new algorithm for operating inverters in a grid-forming mode. The patented algorithm operates the inverter as a voltage source, ...

Grid-forming inverters can operate independently, maintaining voltage and frequency during grid outages, unlike grid-following inverters that rely on external signals. Adoption of GFM technology ...

Obviously, the penetration of renewable energy in the power system is significantly increasing. However, the renewable energy does not have rotation inertia and damping characteristics of traditional ...

A detailed comparison of the response times and overload capabilities of synchronous generators (SGs), grid-forming converters (GFMs), and grid-following converters (GFLs) across different timescales.

Rising electricity demand from EVs and AI is stressing a grid built of centralized, rotating generators. Renewables can ...

How grid-forming inverters can help utilities incorporate much larger percentages of renewable energy into their energy portfolios. How recent efforts at standardization and interoperability will ...

A grid-scale battery in the Scottish Highlands got a chance to prove its mettle in March when, 11 days after it started up, a massive wood-burning generator in northern England shut down unexpectedly.

As ports face rising shore power demands, limited grid capacity, and increasing regulatory pressure, advanced microgrids that ...

At the end of April, a massive blackout swept through parts of Europe, centered in Spain. While early media coverage fixated on a lack of inertia, the Spanish government later clarified that the ...
