Presented by: Deepak Ramasubramanian, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)

With increase in interest in grid forming inverters, insight is needed on how to plan a system with grid forming inverters. What are the kind of services needed from the grid forming resources? What impact will these services have on the power system both from a small signal and large signal perspective? How to differentiate between grid forming resources and grid following resources? Few answers to these questions will be discussed in this presentation. The viability to use grid forming inverters for system restoration will also be discussed.
