Maintaining grid stability becomes more challenging as the share of intermittent renewables grows in the electricity generation mix, but system resilience is essential to continued solar deployment. Grid-forming inverters offer a solution, and their capabilities are increasingly being tested and relied upon in key energy markets globally. Major inverter and battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturers see opportunities here too and are jockeying for position with pilot projects and product launches, as Matthew Lynas reports.
Blackhillock BESS in Scotland uses grid-forming inverters to provide transmission-level support at a point of the network with high renewables penetration.
