AI Grid-Forming Inverter Control

AI systems for grid-forming inverter optimization and stability

The Problem

“Stabilize low-inertia grids with adaptive inverters”

Organizations face these key challenges:

Weak-grid operation (low SCR) causes oscillations, nuisance trips, and conservative derating of inverter-based resources

Static controller tuning cannot keep pace with changing topology, fault levels, and mixed inverter fleets, increasing engineering workload and commissioning risk

Limited visibility into fast dynamics leads to reactive operations after events, higher curtailment, and higher ancillary service procurement

Impact When Solved

1–3% reduction in annual curtailment through stability-aware adaptive GFM setpoints20–40% fewer inverter trips/forced outages via predictive instability detection and constraint-aware control$10–$50M capex deferral potential by reducing need for synchronous condensers/STATCOMs in constrained areas
