The U.S. conglomerate plans to deploy and test new controls with its commercial PV LV5 inverter platform. It aims to develop “grid-forming” controls to allow wind and solar inverters to form voltage ...

Gamesa Electric recently published a white paper on the transition from a power grid sustained by large spinning turbine power plants to one predominantly managed by grid-forming inverters, harnessing ...

Power electronics — including the inverters that interface solar, wind, battery energy storage, and electric vehicles (EVs) — are on track to gradually, or even entirely, displace traditional ...

In addition to expanding renewable energy generation, a successful energy transition requires stable system operation at all times. To achieve this, renewable energies and storage power plants will ...

General Electric (GE) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) demonstrated grid-forming technologies in the Type-3 wind turbine, a step in long-term grid modernization efforts as the rapid ...

Fraunhofer ISE tested grid-forming inverters, covering a range of sizes, from seven companies. Image: Fraunhofer ISE. The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy System (Fraunhofer ISE) has completed ...

One concern some observers raise about the growth of inverter-based resources, such as solar, wind, and battery storage, supplying the power grid is that they don’t provide inertia. Inertia has ...

Concern about system security has already delayed the closure of Australia's biggest coal generator. But a landmark battery project may provide a quicker and cheaper solution.

Electricity demand is rising faster than the physical networks that deliver it. Grid-forming inverters, which help ...

The future is a fascinating subject. When it comes to digital technology, however, the crystal balls and Ouija boards are having a hard time keeping up with the latest developments. When it comes to ...
