Abstract: The electric power grid runs on a continental scale using sophisticated controls to maintain stability. This is becoming increasingly challenging with trends in changes to main grid components. On the supply side, many new renewable energy sources connect to the grid through power electronic interfaces, and on the end-use side, very large loads such as data centers are appearing with largely unknown characteristics. These inverter-based resources (IBRs) and large loads are expected to stress grid operations. In this presentation we review these issues, and present some of our work on monitoring the grid through phasor measurement units to detect vulnerable operating conditions.
