Abstract

Inverter-based resources are proliferating in distribution systems across the globe, along with battery energy storage systems. This in part is attributed to a descending trend observed in their costs. These inverter-based resources, however, create new problems for electrical utilities planners and engineers. One such issue is how to measure, test, and manage load rejection overvoltage. This phenomenon takes place upon sudden islanding of a power system area such that it becomes supported by grid-following inverter-based resources only. This letter presents background, practical methods to test the behavior, as well as two case studies of utility-scale generation and energy storage connected to a distribution feeder.
