A Resilient Grid for a Renewable Future: How
GFM Inverter: A Technological Answer to Grid Resilience Addressing the issue of grid resilience head-on is the Grid Forming (GFM)
Traditional power system is experiencing a trend of reduced inertia and weakened system strength, leading to increasingly severe stability issues. Grid-forming (GFM) battery energy storage system (BESS) has attracted widespread attention due to its similar control response characteristics to conventional generators.
Deploying GFM control capability in batteries is a low-hanging fruit solution to weak grid issues that increasingly are the cause of stability-related transmission constraints, and renewable curtailments. But the opportunity for ISOs/RTOs/utilities to utilize this resource-based solution may soon pass.
GFM technology has been around for many years mainly in islanded systems or microgrids; however, defining GFM for bulk power system applications has posed a challenge for industry. NERC defined GFM controls for BPS-connected IBRs as :
batteries are the low-hanging fruit for GFM application. In the absence of clear requirements and market incentives for GFM control capabilities, all planned batteries will be built using GFL controls. This may increase systems' needs for additional supplemental devices to improve stability, which will drive-up overall system costs.
Outlines unique opportunities for enabling GFM in battery energy storage systems (BESS) to provide critical grid-stabilizing characteristics. Introduces a functional specification specifically for GFM in BPS-connected BESS.
Coordinated Control of the PV-BES System It is important to note that GFM controls rely on the unpredictable grid power demand, which requires effective management of the power flow between the PV system, the BES, and the grid, as well as providing frequency support within the PV-BES system.
