Pillar 4 – Global Technology Standardization & Regional Adoption

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), as Pillar 4 coordinator, develops technology standards to support power system transformation at global, regional, and national levels. Working with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Pillar 4 team, EPRI also helps countries apply these standards locally.
Pillar 4 focuses on standards for inverter-based resources, grid-forming technologies, and distributed energy resources. This work leads to infrastructure projects as partner countries adopt or adapt standards. The Global Power System Transformation (G-PST) Consortium has supported standards development and implementation in the U.S., Panama, India, Chile, Colombia, and Brazil. Global and regional standards streamline processes, accelerating the deployment of key technologies for power system transformation.
