System Strength

Many regions worldwide are experiencing a rapid uptake of inverterbased resources (IBR) concurrent with the retirement of conventional fossil fuel powered synchronous generation. The global power industry is needing to develop state-of-the-art assessment methods and practical solutions, to understand and address the complex and new power system challenges presented by the rapid technology transition already well underway. The term ‘system strength’ has emerged to encompass a broad range of issues and their implications on power system operability.
