IBR & Large Load Integration

Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) are transforming the energy landscape, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and complex challenges. From commissioning hurdles to operational constraints and reliability concerns, the energy industry continues to address critical issues impacting grid performance. As similar challenges emerge in large load interconnections—such as data centers and hydrogen facilities—lessons from IBR integration have become increasingly valuable. On February 5th, Electromentors hosted a free webinar featuring leading experts from the energy sector who shared solutions, experiences, and actionable insights. Watch the recording to learn: ▪ IBR Challenges: Commissioning complexities, operational issues, and reliability concerns during IBR integration ▪ Innovative Solutions: Phasor-domain and EMT-domain modeling for accurate grid performance predictions ▪ HIL Testing: Advancing system reliability and IBR integration through Hardware-in-the-Loop testing ▪ Lessons for Large Loads: Practical applications for data centers, hydrogen facilities, and other significant interconnections Meet Our Expert Panelists: ▪ Julia Matevosyan (Moderator): Chief Engineer at ESIG, specializing in system flexibility, frequency control, and integrating inverter-based generation ▪ Mohamed ElNozahy: Engineering Manager at IESO, leading EMT initiatives for IBR reliability and contributing to NERC and IEEE standards ▪ Sam Maleki: Power systems expert with 14+ years of experience in IBR stability, control, and large-load analysis, with 20+ published works on power dynamics ▪ Arman Ghasaei: Founder of EdgeTunePower Inc., specializing in power management solutions, HIL testing, and sustainable grid operation ● Note: Electromentors does not issue certification for this session.
