Proving Grid-Forming Inverters for System Strength
Date & Time
August 25, 2026 2:20 PM - 3:10 PM
TypePanel Discussion
How does the 38% cost increase in synchronous condenser delivery change the economic case for grid-forming battery storage in Australia?
How do grid-forming inverters need to perform to meet minimum system strength requirements, not just the efficiency level?
Who decides whether grid-forming BESS is technically credible enough to replace synchronous machines, and what evidence are they looking for?
How does grid-forming capability inform the design and operation of hybrid and collocated sites, including large loads such as data centres and long-duration storage?
How are early grid-forming projects informing commissioning and operational practice for the assets coming next?
Who bears the cost and risk if grid-forming batteries can’t be validated in time to offset delayed condenser delivery?
