About the project
Inverter-Driven Instabilities (IDI) is a growing challenge associated with increased use of renewable energy sources (RES). The project develops platforms and tools to analyze these instabilities and proposes improvements in power system control and operation to enable higher RES penetration and more efficient use of existing infrastructure.
The project aims to systematically address emerging challenges associated with increasing uncertainties in inverter-based resources (IBR)-dominated power systems by addressing the following four objectives:
– Explore the limitations of classic controllers with increasing IBRs and uncertainties;
– Develop advanced control algorithms to address the challenges with Inverter-Driven Instabilities (IDI) using adaptive control and machine learning control strategies;
– Develop open-source models and tools for analysis of IDI, testing, and benchmarking of advanced control solutions;
– Assess European regulatory framework including the grid codes with regards to IDI and propose roadmap for their updates.
