EnerNex in Utility Dive: EMT for Inverter Resources

We are pleased to share that EnerNex has been featured in Utility Dive, a leading industry publication, showcasing our expertise in Electromagnetic Transients (EMT) modeling of inverter-based resources (IBRs).

As the power grid evolves with increasing adoption of renewable energy sources, traditional modeling approaches are no longer sufficient to capture the fast dynamics and complex, nonlinear behaviors of IBRs. EMT simulations, which operate in the time domain, are essential for accurately assessing these interactions and ensuring grid stability. These simulations allow engineers to evaluate potential challenges before they impact system reliability, helping utilities maintain safe and resilient operations in an increasingly complex energy landscape.

The article also highlights the importance of compliance with emerging industry standards, such as IEEE 2800-2022 and IEEE 1547-2018, which define requirements for integrating inverter-based resources into the grid. EnerNex’s extensive experience in EMT modeling and grid studies positions us as a trusted partner for utilities navigating these technical challenges, providing insights, tools, and solutions that help ensure reliable energy delivery.

By combining deep technical expertise with practical experience, EnerNex supports utilities in addressing the unique behaviors of IBRs, from fast-acting inverter controls to interactions with legacy power systems. This work is crucial for facilitating the transition to a more sustainable and decarbonized energy future while maintaining the reliability and security of the grid.
