The North American Electric Reliability Corp. last week released a nearly three-year plan for developing reliability standards for inverter-based resources, or IBRs, such as wind, solar and battery storage facilities.
The work plan responds to an October decision by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission directing NERC to develop new and revised reliability standards for IBRs to address concerns they have been tripping offline during grid disturbances.
“NERC has long recognized the reliability risks associated with the rapid growth of IBRs on the bulk-power system,” the grid watchdog organization said in its Jan. 17 filing with FERC. “Addressing these risks through agile, risk-based, and objective-based reliability standards is a high priority of NERC.”
