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 validating GFM performance are also being proposed and tested. This panel session will focus on GFM performance specifications in different regions. We will provide an update on GFM specifications in use and in development around the world and identify similarities, differences, and best practices in those specifications. By doing so, we will facilitate coordination and exchange of ideas for defining the desired performance of GFM inverters, which are emerging as a foundational technology for the ongoing energy transition. Desired Time: We suggest to IEEE to attempt to have all GFM related panels in a sequential manner if possible.
