As grid-forming (GFM) inverters gain momentum as a key contributor to power systems stability, leading grid operators are proposing minimum performance specifications for GFM. Meanwhile, methods of verifying GFM performance are also being proposed and tested. This panel session will focus on proposed methods of GFM performance verification in different regions. We will provide an update on GFM performance verification methods in use and in development around the world and identify similarities, differences, and best practices in those methods. By doing so, we will also facilitate coordination and exchange of ideas for conformity assessment of GFM inverters with existing and potential future voluntary industry standards, supporting the deployment of GFM inverters as a foundational technology for the ongoing energy transition. Desired Dates: We suggest to IEEE to attempt to have all GFM related panels in a sequential manner if possible. Related known GFM panels include several sponsored by EMC.
