The Tools and Models workstream is focused on identifying critical gaps in the capabilities of current tools and models in use by system operators and planners, as well as identifying the potential for new tools that can adequately describe the behavior of IBR. Under the leadership of Nick Miller of HickoryLedge, this workstream developed an interactive presentation that analyzes a wide range of tools, categorized as “stability tools”, “physics tools” and “economics tools”. Explore this presentation: IBR Research Team Stability Tools Inventory: Status and Needs.
The IBR Research Team is currently seeking high-level feedback from experts in the field about the tools inventory presentation. Reviewers can provide their high-level feedback using the Tools and Models Deliverable Feedback Form. For more in-depth, specific feedback reviewers can submit marked-down versions of the presentation to globalpst@nrel.gov.
