Inverter-based resource

OverviewGrid-following vs. grid-formingFeaturesVulnerabilitiesSources

An inverter-based resource (IBR) is a source of electricity that is asynchronously connected to the electrical grid via an electronic power converter ("inverter"). The devices in this category, also known as converter interfaced generation (CIG), include the variable renewable energy generators (wind, solar) and battery storage power stations. These devices lack the intrinsic behaviors (like the inertial response of a synchronous generator) and their features are almost entirely defined
