Inverter-Based Resource Performance Response and Analytics Monitoring

As inverter-based resources (IBRs) become more prevalent, effective performance monitoring is essential to maintaining grid reliability. This talk will present key findings from the EATT Task Force on Inverter Based Resource Performance Response and Analytics Monitoring (IPRAM) report, including data and measurement requirements, case studies of observed IBR behavior, and analytics for identifying and quantifying IBR performance. The discussion will highlight current monitoring challenges and opportunities, and advanced analytics to improve understanding of IBR behavior and support more reliable grid operations.
