Abstract
With the increasing penetration of inverter based resources (IBRs) in present and future power systems, it is important to consider the different grid services needed from/provided by IBRs. To ensure network stability after a contingency such as trip of a synchronous generator or a fault, a grid may require services (for example, fast voltage control) from various IBRs. New IBRs to be installed with future capabilities (inherent blackstart capability) are often seen as a potential source for such services. However, the capability of many existing IBRs today are underutilized and if the capability from existing IBRs is utilized efficiently, it could greatly improve the network performance and reduce services needed from the future IBRs. This paper provides few illustrative examples detailing some of the services that may be needed by an IBR-dominated grid and the impact of asking these services from future IBRs and/or supplementing with services from existing IBRs.
