FERC issued a final rule Thursday directing NERC to develop standards to improve the reliability of inverter-based resources.  

A new report from NERC and WECC details issues experienced with inverters at battery facilities in California last year.

WECC’s two-day annual member meeting featured an election to fill the board’s two top spots.

NERC is seeking comment on proposed changes to its Rules of Procedure intended to promote the registration of inverter-based resources.

NYSRC's Executive Committee approved the preliminary base case for the upcoming capability year and new emergency operating procedures aimed at enhancing grid reliability.

NERC and WECC warned that inverter-based resource performance remains an ongoing issue in the Western Interconnection.

NERC found that the bulk power system was generally reliable and resilient in 2022, but forced outages among coal and natural gas plants hit their highest level in the decade.

A whitepaper on a pressing matter — managing battery systems connected to the grid — bogged down in a debate over its details as NERC’s Reliability and Security Technical Committee met Wednesday.

Most regions of the North American grid remain at elevated risk of supply shortfalls this summer, NERC said in its 2023 Summer Reliability Assessment.

FERC approves NERC’s inverter-based resources plan, proposed in February, and declines to include industry suggestions.
