Grid-forming technology is a power system innovation that enables distributed energy resources—such as solar photovoltaics, wind power, and energy storage systems—to autonomously and coordinately form local grids through inverters. This technology allows these resources to operate indepe...
The fundamental difference between grid-following and grid-forming systems lies in their reliance on and contribution to the power grid, analogous to "followers" and "co-builders" of the grid.
Grid-following energy storage systems function essentially as "current sources," depending...
