Education and Workforce Training for Grid-Forming (GFM) Inverters
Education and Workforce Training for Grid-Forming (GFM) Inverters
Grid-forming (GFM) inverters are becoming central to power system discussions. Consequently, it is essential to train both current and future workforce in understanding the operational principles and system impacts of GFMs. This training requires a unique skill set that bridges power electronics and power systems, presenting two main challenges: (1) Power Electronics Foundation: GFMs are based on power electronics, a field that has traditionally been distinct from power systems. As a result, this technology is relatively unfamiliar to many professionals in the power system sector. (2) Complexity and Ongoing Research: The operation, control, stability, and limitations of GFMs are active research areas. This evolving knowledge base can make it challenging to effectively communicate and teach these concepts to the workforce. Panelists will share their insights and experiences in the United States and internationally, discussing best practices, challenges, and successes in education and workforce training related to GFM inverters.
