Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing involves simulation of power plant behavior using the actual site-specific power plant controls before the commissioning stage. HIL testing can benefit all project ...

Field testing in a portion of ORNL’s campus grid allows validation of a new grid architecture and control platform at utility scale for rapid transfer to industry partners. A historic legacy now ...

Distributed energy storage (DES) is an enabling technology for the future power grid. Largely consisting of advanced electrochemical batteries, DES systems increase the efficiency of large centralized ...

General Electric (GE) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) demonstrated grid-forming technologies in the Type-3 wind turbine, a step in long-term grid modernization efforts as the rapid ...

Grid-forming inverters can operate independently, maintaining voltage and frequency during grid outages, unlike grid-following inverters that rely on external signals. Adoption of GFM technology ...
