A significant increase in inverter-based distributed energy resources (DERs) is expected in the near future. Existing electromagnetic models and sequential electromechanical models of DERs supporting dynamic analysis cannot be extended to largescale three-phase distribution systems usually with unbalanced construction. As such, there is a need for appropriate industry models that can support distribution system dynamic studies. This paper describes the latest phasor models of grid-following (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM) inverters that can capture distribution system dynamics under grid disturbances. The overall modeling performance is examined and compared with results from other platforms such as controller hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL), MATLAB/Simulink and PSCAD with electromagnetic transient (EMT) and/or phasor simulation capabilities under balanced and unbalanced faults.
