In this episode of DirectConnect, Steve Parker and Stacy Bresler, Managing Partners at Archer, take a closer look at why inverter-based resources are suddenly on the radar.As the energy grid evolves, Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs)—like solar, wind, and battery systems—are playing a bigger role. But unlike traditional synchronous generators, IBRs interact with the grid differently, creating new reliability and cybersecurity challenges. Their rapid integration has caught the attention of regulators and operators who now recognize the urgent need for updated standards, visibility, and controls to ensure grid stability. IBRs aren’t just the future—they’re a current risk that demands attention.Links from the episode:NERC IBR Performance Issues Report: https://www.nerc.com/comm/RSTC_Reliability_Guidelines/NERC_Inverter-Based_Resource_Performance_Issues_Public_Report_2023.pdfNARUC - Cybersecurity Baselines for Electric Distribution Systems and DER: https://www.naruc.org/core-sectors/critical-infrastructure-and-cybersecurity/cybersecurity-for-utility-regulators/cybersecurity-baselines/Would just like to learn more about Archer Energy Solutions and what we do?
