NREL has developed GIST (Grid Impedance Scan Tool) to scan the impedance response of inverter-based resources such as land-based and offshore wind power plants, solar power plants, etc., from their electromagnetic transient simulation models to evaluate their impact on grid stability. GIST can scan impedance response of inverter-based resources from vendor-supplied black-box simulation models without requiring internal proprietary details, enabling detailed stability analysis of power systems with high levels of inverter-based generation.
