Sensing, Modeling and Control in Electric Power Systems with High Penetration of Inverter-Based Resources

This panel is motivated by the growing presence of inverter-based resources (IBR) in electric power systems, and the related dynamic problems. It is timely and important to define the level of detail, amount of benchmarking, and suitability of models used, and consider novel dynamic phasor-based approaches. The panel will consider ways of bridging current industry practice with the new modeling and simulation approaches, keeping in mind availability of PMU measurements of reactive power and voltage dynamics. The second part of the panel will assess dynamics of systems with distributed control of IBRs, with examples of sub synchronous electromagnetic oscillatory problems experienced in real-world systems. As a way forward, novel ways of controlling IBRs so that these systems are feasible and stable for the defined ranges of operating conditions will be presented.
