In addition to expanding renewable energy generation, a successful energy transition requires stable system operation at all ...

As coal-fired power plants are retired, grid-forming inverters may be key to a future that relies on solar and wind power.

In a plot twist worthy of a techno-thriller, U.S. energy officials have uncovered rogue communication devices embedded within Chinese-manufactured solar power inverters. These inverters, critical ...

Photovoltaic inverter systems are indispensable for converting the direct current produced by solar panels into the alternating current required by the electrical grid. Over recent decades, a ...

Grid-forming inverters were once limited to micro and isolated grids, but are now rolling out in mega scale applications where their role is not well understood.

Microgrid Design The Hot Springs microgrid consists of alternating-current (AC) coupled solar-plus storage systems that can operate in both grid parallel and island modes. The 1.85-MW solar system ...

In parallel, the industry will continue to work with the applicable standards organizations, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), to ...

Chinese inverter manufacturer Growatt has launched its second-generation off-grid inverter, featuring a solar input voltage of up to 250V.

Pacific Gas & Electric’s interim report shows that smart inverters can indeed stabilize the grid—but reliable communications and customer acquisition will be challenges.
