FERC Proposes Ride-Through Standards for Renewables

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is seeking public input on proposed "ride-through" reliability standards for inverter-based resources (IBRs), including wind, solar, and battery systems. These standards aim to ensure that IBRs can maintain operation during grid disturbances, such as frequency and voltage fluctuations, rather than disconnecting, thereby enhancing grid stability and reliability.

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has observed an increasing number of IBRs unexpectedly going offline during grid disturbances. For instance,...
