Grid-Forming Inverters: The Missing Ingredient for Sustainable Power Grids? (Download)

Nov. 8, 2023

Read this article online.

Despite the challenges it's creating for some existing industries, the transition to a sustainable economy is in the process of hundreds of billions of dollars in new opportunities for products that will enable a low-carbon energy infrastructure.

While the equipment employed to generate wind, solar, and other renewable-energy sources are the most obvious beneficiaries of the "Green Boom,” the products and technologies used to store, manage, and deliver that power are also in great demand. This includes so-called "grid-forming inverters (GFIs)," a special type of inverter that can provide existing electrical generation and distribution networks with distributed regulation capabilities. They enable these networks to work more efficiently with the rapidly varying power levels that can sometimes occur in wind and solar farms.
