Most people are not trained to understand grid stability, but everyone is commenting on the Iberian blackout for some reason 😂
It's like a chiropractor talking about cancer research

Diagnosis and Mitigation of Observed Oscillations in IBR-Dominant Power Systems - ESIG
While oscillations in power systems have always been of concern, the increasing use of inverter-based resources (IBRs) has led to oscillations with a wider range of characteristics and root causes. […...

You might like this study which Shahil did with AEMO to first understand IBR driven oscillations and then how a framework can be developed to optimally size and place GFM BESS or other stability providers like sync condensers and stuff.

And yes, ERCOT has some great engineers in their team doing all this work, much respect to them!

All of these studies have been out there for years, but people always make it a political issue. I am 100% for more RE on the grid, but it's the largest manmade machine we are talking about, so let the unbiased e gineers also have a seat at the table. This blackout was a good wake up call....
