Approaching Regional Inertia & Fast Frequency Stability Screening Methods in High Renewable Systems

Featured Speakers: Parag Mitra, Principal Technical Leader, EPRI; Deepak Ramasubramanian, Senior Technical Leader, EPRI; Chengwen Zhang, Engineer/Scientist III, EPRI

Webinar Abstract: Frequency performance is one of the major aspects for ensuring safe operation as the power industry moves toward a high renewable future. Understanding how the inverter-based resources change the frequency dynamics, identifying potential regional inertia risks, delivering IBR fast frequency response stably from various situations, and eventually maintaining satisfactory frequency performance are critical for a safe and reliable transition to the high penetration systems. This webinar will introduce EPRI’s latest work on inertia regionalization analysis, IBR frequency response stability screening, and bulk power system frequency performance assessments for these goals.
