Inverter-Based Resources During a Cascading Failure
Wednesday, November 14, 2018

About the Topic
Renewable generation has many characteristics that differ from conventional generation. What effects will these characteristics have during a cascading failure? In the case of the South Australia blackout, inverter protection settings played a critical role in loss of generation - in effect initiating the blackout. Have we enough awareness of other settings which can compromise the bulk electric system (BES)? And in future, can we avoid these pitfalls and leverage the advanced inverter controls for our benefit to avoid cascading failure?
