Will inverters provide grid-forming services?
This multiyear perspective recognizes that the scale and scope of the types of power systems for which inverters will be called on to provide grid-forming services will and should begin modestly.
How does a grid forming inverter work?
Grid-forming inverters can start up a grid if it goes down—a process known as black start. Traditional “grid-following” inverters require an outside signal from the electrical grid to determine when the switching will occur in order to produce a sine wave that can be injected into the power grid.
Who are the authors of a research roadmap on grid-forming inverters?

Should we transition to a grid with more inverter-based resources?
Transitioning to a grid with more inverter-based resources poses major challenges because the operation of future power systems must be based on a combination of the physical properties and control responses of traditional, large synchronous generators as well as those of numerous and diverse inverter-based resources (see Figure ES-1).
What are new grid operations and services paradigms?
New grid operations and services paradigms, such as generation coordination of large numbers of DER with different ownership, will challenge and alter existing operational processes and will drive new and different performance characteristics of the communication channels.
How can communications support the grid of the future?
Ensuring the reliable and resilient delivery of electrical energy is critical for the U.S. economy, which increasingly relies on secure communications systems to support grid operations. Adapting to the grid of the future requires a comprehensive understanding of the differences between communication technologies that support grid operations.
