What is a 'grid following' inverter?

that came before them.Diving Deeper: What’s the Issue with Conventional IBR Technology?Nearly all grid-connected IBRs—including wind, solar, batteries, and others—have been designed with controls referred to as “grid following” (GFL)—the inverter essentially measures or

What are inverter-based energy resources?

ble energy resources—wind, solar photovoltaic, and battery energy storage systems (BESS). These resources electrically connect to the grid through an inverter— power electronic devices that convert DC energy into AC energy—and are referred to as inverter-based resources (IBRs). As the generation mix changes, so do the electrical character

What are inverter-based resources (IBRS)?

convert DC energy into AC energy—and are referred to as inverter-based resources (IBRs). As the generation mix changes, so do the electrical character stics and attributes of the bulk power system that we have relied upon for over a century. The grid was fundamentally designed, engineered, planned, and operated around conventional synchr
