IBR Interconnection with high voltage Transmission networks ñ Risks, Requirements and Compliance

With the increase of penetration of Inverter based resources (IBR), the grid resource mix is shifting to a physically different response to unplanned events such as faults. This is because the IBRsí response is the result of controls within equipment design limits. This panel will discuss the risks and the development of requirements that are intended to help the gridís resiliency. Questions to the panelist will cover the new interconnections standards, recommended practices documents, and guides available. The panel will discuss the progress in their adoption. The discussion will inform the risks and possible mitigation that grid operators, developers, engineers, and manufacturers should consider addressing.
