Webinar: GFM Solutions for Compliance on Plant Levels

Featured Speaker: Benjamin Braun, Principal Engineer, Fluence Energy
About the Webinar: Recent updates to the grid codes of key markets enabling grid-forming operation on the public network have opened a multitude of new applications. This in turn has exposed a gap between components level controls and complete code compliant solutions. Historically, GFM applications have been largely limited to industrial black-start and isolated electrical systems. Such projects have provided countless lessons and improvements, but to date no component level standards defining GFM controls have been defined. Validation and bench-marking of manufacturer's and integrator's GFM capabilities is thus left open for interpretation. For plant level grid code compliance a holistic approach considering DC limitations and dynamics as well as the grid needs at POI rather than only the converter level performance must be considered. This presentation will highlight additional requirements and considerations to provide a complete GFM plant solution with the required plant level integration controls to convert collections of sub-components into plant level solutions compliant with the latest grid codes.
